We've got plenty like that in the English countryside, torture trails. .

Following tne collapse of the Lib-Dems at the last general election I argued that they would quickly bounce back, returning to their former strength. Many wrote them off far too quickly. . .

Which simply cannot work, the two are incompatible, so it ends up at one extreme, usually the right. Remember, the Nazi party's correct title was the National Socialist Party. Huh, some socialism when it was the most extreme right wing party the world has ever known. If UKIP were ever given...

Unfortunately no, as motor vehicles they are subject to type approval and none of the excess speed/power e-bikes can meet the type approval requirements as supplied. They have to have tyres to motorcycle standards, brake light, other lights have to be fitted and to approved standards, horn...

Yes, that I agree with, and also agree with Woosh and KudosDave that it was a good, well made program, presenting the right wing anti-EU view across four and a bit countries and some selective ill effects in those countries. Ill-effects in many cases due to their own governments inadequacy or...

True, but it was a travesty to call the program unbiased coveraged as Zlatan did. It was solely representing the anti-EU parties, intended to be and announced as such. .

But it wasn't intended to be a balanced program, it was specifically made to show the rise of the right wing across Europe. Just one part of a whole spectrum. .

It's even more dramatic a fall in the USA, not only the young but all groups up to the 50 plus much less likely to drive. Link. When driving even drops off in car-mad USA, it's certain that there's real change under way. .

They might not like its homing facility though! :eek: .

Not worth much now though, in a more environmental aware world in which F1 has been in continuous decline. Link. .

Not arguing with any of this Zlatan, I'd have said ICE will be with us for at least 50 years and probably more. Those advising against entering the motor industry were clearly being very premature. But to repeat, I gave three alternative future scenarios, one of them being car free far into...

And if he waits until they are just past the sell by date, he'll find them free in the skip at the rear of the supermarket. .

Flying aloft the EU flag reminds us that sky in most parts of the world is blue with a yellow sun and night time stars, rather than the near continuous sun and star masking sombre greys over the UK. And that's rather depressing, so better we aren't reminded. .

I suppose it will also depend on the time period the cost is spread over. A higher figure might well be more acceptable if settled in small enough annual increments. .

The Beeb is running a series of ten under 15 minute programs daily from last Monday titled: Brexit, A Guide for the Perplexed. Each day's program covers one main area They can also be listened to on the i-player at any time and each day's web page contains the next and previous program links...

Not a legal design then, the legal assist speed limit at which motor cut out must occur is 15.5 mph. .

Once again like Zlatan you're looking at the present. If there is one thing we do know, it's that there's always change and nothing ever stays the same. The private car is just a blip in history of little over a hundred years duration and very much less than that in widespread usage. Its time...

You are completely missing the point I made that it's the long term future I'm looking at. Of course those countries will follow us in adopting cars. But they also eventually follow us all the way into the London style car ownership disadvantages and increasingly give them up in the same way...

You're stuck in the rut of the present, the world continuously changes. That's why i used London as an entirely approriate example, an indication of the direction the world is taking. Ever more population and overcrowding, necessity to give preferential treatment to public transport at the...
