    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, which is why I said economists of all persuasions, not just one side. Previously answered for you in full. Nor did I ever say they were privy to me or not available to them. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course it's long term positive, they have a vested interest in people continuing to invest! Nothing will prompt them to be gloomy and harm their own business. The snag being that economists of all persuasions so often get it wrong. That's why I ignore their predictions and judge from...

    Yorkshire Puddings

    The only excerts I can find from The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea are these: Henry: Here, Minnie, hold my elephant gun. Minnie: I don't know what you brought it for. You can't shoot elephants in England, you know. Henry: And why not? Minnie: They're out of season. Henry...

    YAMAHA EASY.. Old pedelec ebike but the 24v mid drive unit has potential

    P.S. The third battery connection on NIMH batteries are for the NTC thermistor that's in the NIMH pack. It's not needed when using a lithium battery. .

    YAMAHA EASY.. Old pedelec ebike but the 24v mid drive unit has potential

    Hi Beach Thorncombe. I only had a brief passing acquaintance with the original Yamaha PAS model, though all three were very similar. They were only on the UJK market for about three years from 1999 since the Giant Lafree from 2001 on was far more popular with our e-bikers. However, the Yamaha...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But their 120 odd agreements do not include financial services which are essential for us, and the deal still includes freedom of movement, as the Swiss found out when they tried to restrict that and got punished for it. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In fairness to him he's right about the F35. There's been huge and mounting opposition to it's continuing developing for a long time now since it's a bottomless pit where costs are concerned. Our government wil be buying them for the one of the two impending new aircaft carriers which will be...

    Expected Lifespan of an EMotor

    These are possibly the problem, all of them putting too much strain on the internal nylon gears which may well have chewed up. If the cause is electrical rather than mechanical, the misuses in the next paragraph also cause very high current which can lead to a controller failure These motors...

    Careful, we do have a number of Isle of Wight members. The fact they e-bike demonstrates they are above UK average in many ways. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Even that's far from certain since they are very upset with mainland Britain since this comment: Ofsted’s chairman, David Hoare, has described the Isle of Wight, one of England’s most educationally underperforming areas, as a poor white "ghetto" that suffers from "inbreeding". They may want...

    Spare battery storage?

    Definitely never empty since the cells can drain further into failure. At least 40% since most batteries BMS continue to use tiny amounts of current all the time. For that reason its important to recharge for an hour or two at least every three months and preferably once every one to two...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Homeoz isn't alone, I prefer walking to cycling and always have done, even in my 5000 cycling miles a year days. I'm a nature lover, and the faster one goes, the less one sees. I sometimes even stand still in one likely spot for extended periods to see what turns up, and it can be surprising...

    Yorkshire Puddings

    You can use either flour according to various recipes, but the ratio of eggs to flour changes, about half the eggs to flour when using self raising. Maybe the combination of the raising effect of too many eggs and the bicarb in self raising flour defeat each other in some way? I've understood...

    Crank Drive Motor Clunking Noise

    Actually it is, and it has been done a few times. For example a few of the old Giant Lafrees with failed units. The way that's done is stripping out the motor and all the contents of the light alloy crank case except the pedal shaft. Since that Lafree was very light anyway, the result is a...

    And I for one will be very surprised if the Supreme Court arrived at 7 to 4 in this case. More likely is a unanimous decision against the executive, perhaps alleviated by some supportive comments within their findings. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Excellent post Homeoz. I'm in very much the same position of being too old now to bother with leaving this country. Having lived elswhere previously and almost taken that decision then, if very much younger I definitely would now. .
