    Heathrow v Gatwick v Stansted airport expansion

    Well the decision has been taken, Heathrow get's its third runway and I'm pleased. It will mean even more aircraft over me all the time, but that doesn't worry me since I'm not obsessed with finding it a problem I have excellent hearing and dislike excessive noise, but don't find today's...

    HS2....Euston v St Pancras

    Yes I agree there's more sensible way this could have been done, we should have a bypassing London link to enable HS trains to travel from Europe directly to the Midlands and Northern UK, as well as directly to London. If we'd built a comprehensive high speed line network long ago as Europe...

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    We only ever ask fo the first half of the postcode Phill, and that;s how you are currently entered. If you feel the road position you are on is too close for comfort, I can move the position a bit further away if you wish, onto a different road for example. My first half code landed me right...

    HS2....Euston v St Pancras

    Whilst I agree on the silliness of Kings Cross and St Pancras, I part company on HS2. We should already have built HS2, HS3, HS4 and HS5 long ago, West and East Coast high speed lines, Eastern Counties high speed line and West of England high speed line. And of course I do mean doing the job...

    Heathrow v Gatwick v Stansted airport expansion

    I'm with Trex on this, we need vastly more capacity. Most importantly I want Heathrow to get the third runway which is essential if it is to retain its current status. I say that as someone who is still affected by it and has lived and worked in areas heavily affected by it. I have two...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    True, but entirely their own faults, they've all been operating under the same rules. One only has to look at the insane ways the Greeks have been running their country for decades for a perfect example, in their case, running spelt ruining. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is simply conspiracy theory, they are successful because they've worked for it. Here's a comparison: In the 1960s and '70s the motor industries of both Britain and Germany were in trouble, both suffering a loss of brands. The failure of Borgward in th 1960s and continuing decline of NSU...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Strange then that Lloyds chief states this: conservative estimate that the London insurance market writes £6bn of premium income from the EU. The supposed impedances don't seem to be working very well. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The link is working for me Fingers. However, this is the main gist of the article: One of the main arguments in favour of the UK’s continued membership of the European Union is that it will ensure British companies retain their access to the single market. The sector that is thought to most...

    How is overcharging possible?

    According to their sales details below, Insat are unusual these days in using pouch cells: "Our batteries use pouch cells which can pack more energy density and weigh a lot less than cylindrical cells." Here's Benjahmin's battery photo:

    Winston Churchill's grandson buys ebike.

    Just reward, with his BEBA* hat on David was involved in obtaining an e-bike lobbyist in parliament (Lord Laird) to look after all of our e-biking interests by speaking up for us. Also the e-biking demonstrations giving MPs a chance to ride them and see what they were about. * British Electric...

    Winston Churchill's grandson buys ebike.

    He's probably parks in the House of Commons car park during the day, perfectly safe. Ever since terrorists planted a bomb in MP Airey Neave's car while it was in there, killing him, the security has been impeccable. Would that we all had parking that secure. .

    How is overcharging possible?

    You won't harm your Ezee battery or charger by charging overnight, the battery's BMS turns off the charge when the battery reaches the designed full charge level. That will be true of any e-bike battery having a BMS, but I don't know the Insat batteries or whether they have them. I'd be very...
