    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well, the Brexiters got their bad news today with Donald Trump's words: "From this day on it's going to be America first, - - it's going to be America first". So much for a trade agreement with the USA bailing us out after leaving the EU. Given his policy of bringing jobs back to America...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's a big mistake to think of this money as Foreign Aid, it's nothing of the sort and never has been. In truth it's bribery, the objectives being a favourable relationship with the politicians of a recipient country for trade and defence advantages, and to deny those advantages to our supposed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Thames Water company area is so large that much of the water it supplies is from deep wells. Mine comes from the Addington Deep Well only half a mile down the road, pumping water from the North Downs since the 1800s. When I first moved here it still used the original Cornish beam engines...

    "Huge leaps in e-bike battery capacity coming to e-bikes soon"

    Yes, I've been maintaining that for years, e-car battery advances not necessarily suitable for e-bikes. And of course as well as the charge time differences, the e-biker also has the instantly available second battery range extension. The e-car would need a trailer for that. :rolleyes: .

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    You're in Tom, riding on South Barton Avenue. Google Maps have rather limited choices of preset icons and colours. Although there's a potential range of colours to edit in, the facility is greyed out. The only alternative colour available for the bike icon is blue, so I've made yours that...

    Any good

    Thanks Gray, that's certainly interesting and a potentially better quick removable drive than the powered integrated wheels. Perhaps too expensive though, might as well buy an e-bike for the £1500 to add to one's unpowered bike. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No-one at present. Our cost base is too high to compete in almost all areas of manufacturing, and our low productivity just makes matters worse. There is a high cost base alternative with good productivity, and that's selling on sheer quality. Switzerland and Germany are the masters of that...

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    Corrected now, riding on Springhill Road near to Saneagle. Map Link I think the position must have been moved a long time ago, for some while I've been the only person left editing the map. Both the other two have left the forum, though I suppose they may still have editing rights at Google. .

    LLoyds of London are also going to open an EU office for their insurance business. But what I'm wondering about most is how Theresa May is going to reconcile her willingness to hard brexit with her promise to Nissan about them being unaffected by Brexit. Something doesn't add up. .

    And all Brexiters sound the same: "immigration, get back sovereignty, immigration, make own laws, immigration, make Britain great again, immigration, not take orders from Brussels, immigration, tell Juncker where to go, immigration, control borders, immigration. er, and we're not racists" .
