Yes, I've already used DSA in conversation and also DK, for we are at least as disunited since the referendum. Russia is now more united behind their leader than the pair of us. .

Indeed, but he is still wrong, as much as anything because he uses the factors you praise as a weapon against those less advantaged. .

Yes, thus proving she was a true politician, someone whose utterances are always dictated by the expediency of the moment. .

Theresa May! :D Hoisted with her own petard. .

And this I don't see as a benefit. When we have our own very healthy beet growing industry for British Sugar plc producing sugar, importing a foreign alternative that's no better seems foolish. Fine for Tate & Lyle's shareholders and American owners, but not good for the UK. .

I'm hopeful that these have been designed to give only above a certain level of impact, rather than just being bendy all the time. If they are just the latter I'd also have reservations. .

Great stuff, I wish all concerned well.. As a bike suspension hater I like the idea behind the shock absorbing handlebar. This is the sort of practical innovation we need, not the silly style based gimmicks that are so often promoted as innovation. Couple that handlebar with free rolling...

This is a major problem in motorcycle helmets with their higher speeds, so to avoid permanent ear damage the riders use earplugs. You could try a pair of those, they don't cost much, and some good ones still let through enough external sound for safety. When on my motorbike I used cheap light...

The title is "Our Guy in China" and it's in 3 episodes, last one broadcast yesterday at 9pm on Channel 4. All three episodes should be available on the 4OD player. .

Ask Ben at Kinetics Glasgow, he has huge experience of selling and servicing the older Heinzmann motors, including 24 volt ones. He's a one man business and always very busy, so best email rather than ring, asking him nicely to help. CONTACT US mail@kinetics.bike 0141 942 2552 .

It's certainly looking more and more likely it could be abandoned, or at least be so soft that it makes little difference. The EU is being so intransigent on the acceptance of the four pillars that it's leaving almost no room for negotiation. The information now that negotiations have to be...

It's topical because AFC Bournemouth have just scored an almost miraculous last few minutes win over Liverpool. I don't usually follow football but accidentally caught the highlights of this happening on late night TV. The first paragraph on this link tells it all. .

How very true, unfortunately we didn't have any politicians in the 1970s with de Gaulle's foresight. .

I can appreciate this one since I was living in Bournemouth in the 1950s when AFC Bournemouth (The Cherries) had a giant killing run. Here's the detail: The club's greatest days have been reserved for the FA Cup. In 1957, they had a great run that saw them beat Tottenham Hotspur and...

There is no other way when a government executive seeks to abuse with powers it does not have. Someone needs to protest by calling on the law of the land to overrule. It's all very well for you to criticise the process, but what do you propose in its place? .

It has to be the action of an individual, whether solo or acting for an organisation. I have experience of this having done it on behalf of the company I was working for at the time. The action has to be triggered by a person. In Gina Miller's case she is the lead challenger acting for a...

I made the most original post in this thread. The one that started it! :) .

You really don't get it do you? I pay all my taxes including motoring associated ones into the national unhypothecated budget. Like every citizen I'm entitled to use the general road network without a specific payment to do so. Whether that's walking, cycling, horse riding or driving is...

Read my post again! I've told you that taxes are not hypothecated, no one pays for road usage. Since drivers don't pay for the roads, nor pedestrians for crossings, why should cyclists? I don't know where you got the idea that I expect cycle lanes. The reality is that it's the governments...

Actually I do, since like many of not most e-bikers. I also have a car. The taxation for that covers all my travel, so if some of that travel is on my bike, I'm still paying my way but cutting wear and tear on the roads. We even have a few members with two or more cars who really are paying...
