Yes indeed prices rising sharply and much more to come from the food sector among others. The reason that people are still buying is revealed by the credit card data, the debt total rising over 10% this year and at pre 2008 crash levels. And we all know what follows such high debt levels, a...

Or even now perhaps? The Cameron manifesto on which the government was elected has clearly been scrapped with the change of Prime Minister and Cabinet. Policies too, with such as Theresa May's wish to bring back grammar schools being a reversal. So there is no manifesto at present, just "on...

Thanks Helen, Just to confirm I've had no financial interest in the other forums I've contributed to and helped on: PC Advisor, 1999 to 2002 inclusive, advising on Microsoft operating systems, 9X and NT. Wild About Britain on wildlife up until it's closure a year ago. Natural History Museum...

:D. Just like me Eddie, head down in the country, walking or cycling. With my fungi interest I have to repeat some woodland walks looking up all the time, since some grow high on trunks. Great photos. .

EN15194 is the technical standards for complete pedelecs. The exemption you refer to is in the Two and Three Wheeled Type Approval regulation, originally as 2002/24/EC but now incorporated within 168/2013. That does not specify how the power is to be measured or specify any such document or...

Ouch! :) Alway a dangerous assumption these days when at least 90% of photos come from smartphones. .

The first photo of the Lasius niger black ant attack at the edge of a lane was when I was on my bike, dawdling along as I often tend to do in the countryside whether riding or walking so as not to miss anything. I also stop from time to time at potential spots to look around. What's...

Now retailer Next have revealed they are under huge cost pressures and will have to raise prices in 2017. They are probably our top retailer, so what goes for them will certainly affect the rest at least equally. .

Thanks for the explanation, I also wondered what a Truman bubble was, though I got the concept of the range radius of a pedelec. I did for a moment consider participation, but for a start wouldn't know how to fix the bubble since I used to ride with up to three batteries over a huge circle but...

Sorry I missed this question earlier. (Apologies for being off thread subject for this reply) Yes, quite sure, a very common sight here is people wandering around in the road outside and climbing the hill with their latest smartphones to get some sort of a signal. A few years back we had a...

You wouldn't have got that treatment from me, you'd have been a 9 to 5, one hour for lunch, service work controller earning upper limit wages in top office conditions in the Euston Centre. Subsidised quality staff canteen with a great view on the top floors of the Euston Tower. .

There's some details on the BBS kits that Another Kiwi mentions in this link. .

Not accepted by those of us with 1960s experience. Then the desperate shortage of employees meant the unemployed dipping below 2% at times, and that was a genuine figure, not the massaged figures we get these days. Anyone with some usable limbs and an approximation of a head could be put to...

Agreed wholeheartedly, for the vast majority the best PM and government Britain ever had. Those of their achievements that haven't been destroyed have been seriously damaged, all by the self-interest of those who value wealth above all else. .

Indeed, the same in the UK. But there is a special degree of bitterness and even nastiness in the Italian north-south relations. As a generalisation they are of course racially quite different, probably a major contributor to that situation. .

Italy's north and south have always been at loggerheads and many in the north want to redivide the country. Reminds me of this cruel northern Italian joke: Question: Why are southern Italians so small? Answer: Because their mothers told them they'd have to go out to work when they grew up. .

If you could hold your breath to 2019 you'd be ok in the UK. That's when the obvious solution comes into force here: Link 1 Link 2 .

True, but in his position now he'll be informed of anything that can affect the presidency, especially anything overtly criminal. .

The early bike from Wisper with this frame style was the 905e of 2004/5. The 905se was an upgrade first seen in 2007. P.S. Just seen that David has already posted this information. .

That's going to wreck Farage's close relationship with Donald Trump. Trump isn't the idiot he appears to be at times, so he'll be wary of any UKIP contact from now on. .
