It's always offended me because there is no such thing as British. Britain is not a nation, it is a federation of two nations, England and Wales. Great Britain is not a nation, it is a federation of three nations, England, Wales and Scotland. The EU doesn't appear to recognise the use of...

Naughty! Anyway, I daresay that most of the union flags that people wave are made in China. .

So ignore those and let the world judge, why get individually upset? I didn't stick an emoticon on retard, I used a wink smiley to try to tempt you to do the above and relax about what you cannot change. I never have, I once pointed out that the Administrator has a relaxed attitude and tries...

Not very highly illegal. The DfT have confirmed that on the assist limit as with all UK speed limits, a 10% tolerance applies. This roughly equates to a 17.1 mph assist limit. Since the police have no equipment that can get anywhere near to such cyclist speed measuring resolution accuracy...

I agree on the nasty turn of events, but in respect of my post you misunderstand. So I refer you to the latter sentence of my reply to Zlatan. The wink smiley indicates a somewhat teasing not really serious comment. Fun in the funny sense is better indicated by such as: Gentle fun: :)...

Again your distorted judgement comes into play. The wink smiley isn't making jokes, there are more suitable smileys for that. It indicates a tongue in cheek comment, i.e. not really serious. .

Didn't you see the Wink smiley? :confused: .

Hardly, 404 pages, four times the previous record, say you are wrong. Most web sites exist on advertising and traffic is what is needed to attract the advertisers. .

Perhaps because you are attempting to spoil the fun! ;) .

I agree, the USA is well ahead of the UK in many aspects of consumer protection. But that doesn't alter the fact that the EC is far superior to UK governments in this respect, the latter not only failing but joining in the abuse. Compared with either side of the big pond, the UK citizen is the...

Another illustration of the sheer superiority of the European Commission over our UK governments. McDonalds are running out of fear of the sort of fines the EC impose, in stark contrast to our governments who allow companies all sorts of unpunished abuses. EC fines like $112.4 million against...

Nothing to do with the UK being better, just getting out while they can: "The Luxembourg tax affairs of the burger giant are currently under formal investigation by the European Commission." .

Cheat, opportunist, entrepeneur, high achiever. Choose the description to position where you'd like your status in society to be. ;) .

Just like they thought they voted on the Common Market in 1975. The fact that they were wrong then and now is immaterial, their mistakes don't change the facts. Total nonsense, the advisory status was the law as stated by our law makers, so it has everything to do with the law. To say...

Quoting isn't approval, I quoted to say you were wrong. Presumably you feel your opinion on advisory overrules the law as stated by the legislators, before and since the referendum. It was and is advisory as they clearly stated. .

Not true, Westminster would be the state legislature within the country of Federal Europe once union was achieved. If other federations are anything to go by, it would have more powers than now. Not true again. 2010: Inquiry by a House of Lords committee concluded that “because of the...

This can have an unexpected consequence though. I offered a keen cyclist friend and neighbour a try on mine and off he went. When he returned ten minutes later he exclaimed: "What wonderful handlebars!". Not a mention of the e-aspect. :( It was a Giant Lafree with its very nice comfort bars...

Its inevitable that as e-bikes become more and more accepted as they have, the remaining haters are the most extreme in their views. Another way of saying they are the lunatic fringe. .

What troubles me more about him is not what he says, being a politician that's of little value anyway, but his actions. His voting record illustrates well that he deserves the title many in the Commons give him, "Member for the Nineteenth Century". He is in reality the enemy of the majority of...

They are now far more deserving of UK, though with Margrethe II reigning, maybe UQ. .
