    Brexit, for once some facts.

    For a while I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm now certain he is nothing other than an internet troll. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Having established by misrepresentation that you cannot understand what others post, you went on to post that the proven historic facts in a radio program were shown to be wrong, an obvious impossibility. Now as a Brexit supporter you show by saying "we should be out by now" a complete failure...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I did nothing of the sort and frankly I'm sick of you willfully misrepresenting me in your responses. I initiated this thread with a programme that spelled out factual situations that had already happened. I made no predictions in that post. Those situations were history so cannot have been...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No crystal ball needed, only a thorough knowledge of our past performances and failures in all the relevant areas and the knowledge that this country has not changed in any really material way since then. Leopards don't change their spots. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've no idea what Osborne has said, so how can it influence me? I toild you a long time ago what my opinions on this issue are based on, and in no way are they formed by any of the commentators you mention. That's because I don't and won't read and absorb what they have to say. Your mistake...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do you really lack the ability to read? I didn't disagree with King, I agree with him, merely pointing out that what he said was obvious so I didn't need him to tell me the obvious that I already knew. i.e. That a hard exit presents opportunities. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    More nonsense, I've said nothing about listening to Osbourne and wouldn't take an notice of him anyway. Not so. Faced with adopting the euro against our wish we would merely take another more detached membership option. The EU already has many membership models and you have no idea how many...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All he knows is what he said, a hard exit presents opportunities, whilst admitting that it would be very challenging. We all know that and don't need Mervyn King to tell us the obvious. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As you admit., we are not liable for bailout costs since we are not eurozone members. And how do arrive at "we might be in future"? Obviously in the knowledge of the eurozone debts we would never sign up to liablity, and could only do so if we adopted the euro first. Do you really think we'd...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Utter nonsense and more lies from the leavers, we are not guarantors of eurozone debt. Here is the reality of the current situation, copied and pasted: The UK will not pay for future eurozone bailouts. This has already been agreed by EU leaders. In addition, the UK-EU deal from February, which...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings" as the saying goes. In a program about the psychology of money, some very young children were being asked questions about money. In response to the question "Where does money come from?", one little girl replied "Germany". Clearly she's been...

    Advice for my sister

    Sadly Kalkhoff have experienced a lot of trouble with the second version of their own Impulse power unit, which replaced the reliable Panasonic one. As IR772 posted earlier, for drive through the gears aim for e-bikes with either the Bosch or Yamaha units, fitted as they are to a wide variety...

    RIP George Michael.

    This radio programme investigating the number of famous people dying this year may be of interest, since the numbers appeared to be very high. The item ran from 1 minute in to 3 minutes 42 seconds, so under 3 minutes long: More or Less .

    Coasting

    That definitely was the case in the early 1960s and before, the era you're referring to. Coasting out of gear was regarded as not having control. .

    Transport Minster - new cycling policy?

    While that's possible and I know of two cases in Britain in my lifetime, it seems unlikely to be a major factor in so many deaths. Approximately 80 every year. And the Dutch are not stupid, if that were the case they would surely have said as much in the government study, which was specifically...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A perfect example of the inadequacy of their "bargains". Breaking it down: 32" = too small by today's standards 720p = inadequate when 1080i is so much better. HD Ready = not HD for most viewing. Blaupunkt = a brand not commonly on sale with questionable support. But the dent in their...

    The Berlin truck atrocity

    The study conclusion was somewhat different in this respect. Their belief was that the majority not committing crimes weren't behaving that way out of fear of detection since they are well aware of how ineffectual the police are. Their belief was that it was the innate decency of the majority...
