Certainly no arguments with this, in or out of the EU, they are a formula for failure. .

I posted an agree since I saw it the same way. Near zero maintenence needed and little to go wrong or get out of adjustment is ideal for a moderate commute, transport without trouble. Many decades ago we had similar with such as the single speed Sunbeam oilbath chaincase bikes. They ran for...

Due to a monoculture of mutual narrow minded bigotry (well remembered in the 1940s and '50s) The ability for industry in isolation to fail without unfavourable comparisons with EU partner countries. Yes, 33.33 and 66.66% purchase taxes instead of 20% VAT Due to higher death rates and swing...

Just enough to get out of sight of home to pop into the pub. Returning two hours later feigning out of (peppermint scented) breath. :)

Yes, the wheel hub sides, the bottom bracket sides, the inner ends of the pedals, and the top and bottom of the steering stem. Just avoid pointing the hose directly into those, since that will drive water and dirt into the bearings. Instead just flow the water past across the surfaces instead...

Yes, I've always done that. Just avoid directing the jet of water directly into bearings etc, run the water across the face instead, using the quantity of flow to wash the mud away, rather than the force. .

There are plenty of duds everywhere, but it comes down to how many and if in power. Greece tops the maladministration league in the EU of course, but the UK is well up the chart. France is much better based on the very obvious achievements. .

I don't use reminders so aren't bothered in that way. When I come in I just use Forums drop-down menu, New Posts and just choose the ones I go to. .

Why? We've all got one built in. I regularly ignore threads that I know don't interest me. What I don't want to do is censor what others might enjoy. .

Or even make the front mudguard long enough at the rear. This one in the OP's thread first post is ridiculous, hardly shields anything, not even the downtube:

"Constable, the Secretary of State for Transport has ruled that I'm not a road user. He makes the law so you cannot give me that ticket. Have a nice day!" :) .

Such things take time to settle and will even out. People naturally migrate to be with like people, so the range of mix in any one spot tends to reduce. It's always been like it here and not a problem, For example, Bedford is a town of 100,000 people but has 14,000 of them Italian. There's...

Don't worry, compared with what some have posted about their conversions you'd have a job to shock anyone! :) .

Just heard impressionist Jane Raven's humorous description of Theresa May: "She's so below the radar. She just sits there, does nothing and waits for the posh boy to screw up". .

Or a surcharge in case they post criticism? :D .

Not losing their identity, replacing it with a common European identity, a parallel with the multi-cultural identity that exists in the USA. They've done rather well with that, so could Europe. You keep repeating this lie, we have signed nothing that can enforce that, so it's not a fact. The...

France doing a "Donald" and beating him to it, bringing manufacturing back home! .

Well done Renault, it opens the possibility of a properly secure and weatherproof version, two things so seriously lacking in the original. .

Yes, if we did it underhand as the others often do. Unfortunately we are sometimes too regulation compliant for our own good. Just ask our fishermen who are so constantly pestered by Royal Navy fishery protection vessels boarding them. .

Judging by the strength of their extreme right wing voting and nationalism, I've no doubt this is already being practiced by many Austrian employers. Asking permission after the event is probably just window dressing. .
