    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree. I suspect our government knows it too. I believe if the government wants to spend more on social support, they will simply borrow some more. The money spent on social budget will be recycled several times over, its net impact is relatively small. It's tory's ideology that stops them.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Massive inflation? Probably not. The weaker Pound costs us about £90 billion more in imports a year compared to pre-referendum, that is about 3% this year and 3% next year when brexit happens. Mr G Soros reckons we will have some kind of a deal to avoid the cliff edge (that is we are out but...

    Battery upgrade for Cycloctricty Stealth 1000w

    that is because the voltage also sags when the controller pulls more current. You will see the battery level on the LCD losing a bar or two when you climb a hill. If you stop the bike for a minute to let the battery recover then the LCD shows pretty much the remaining capacity.

    Mrs May designated the E27 as the enemy, although not in those exact words.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mr Trump has just been sworn in. He is now the President of the USA. I have been watching his address. Weirdest speech for a long time. The applauds were clearly subdue. He is clearly not a career politician. God, patriotism, protectionism. I thought we have gone a long way since the last war.

    Why doesn't Pedelecs do more E-Bike reviews?

    I added the stripped down weight after reading EddiePJ's post about comparisons. Should we have more openness about bike component specifications? I thought it can only be a good thing.

    Why doesn't Pedelecs do more E-Bike reviews?

    For a fairer comparison. A lot of our customers like well padded, well sprung comfy saddles. Some weigh about 1kg more than others. Add a pair of large pedals, a solid propstand, front and rear light with their batteries, full size mudguards, full size chainguard and a frame lock. Changing...

    About 75% of our foreign aid budget is recycled through our NGOs and companies in 2014. https://www.oecd.org/dac/peer-reviews/UK peer review 2014.pdf

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not saying the amount is insignificant. That amount keeps our NGOs afloat to wave our flag abroad and helps us spread a bit of goodwill. So most of that is actually recycled by ourselves. It's a bit like what they say about the water of the Thames, it's gone through 7 kidneys before you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Our foreign aid budget is only 0.7%, we can't even repair all the potholes with it, and a long way to make up for the shortfall in essential public services. Most of the budget is spent to support our NGOs. Half of our NGO staff will lose their jobs without it. The foreign aid budget is the...

    Why doesn't Pedelecs do more E-Bike reviews?

    Hi everyone, Do you think a standardized table on this pedelecs forum would help comparisons? electrical components: 1) Motor: (make and model), 2) battery: (capacity in WH, cell model, charging time, has it got remote diagnostic facility?) 3) power control: (torque, rotational or both, has...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mrs May is still using the same brexit rhetoric in addressing the EU27 who do not care for her argument. The synopsis is simple: UK needs a deal with the EU that has to be better than WTO. The EU does not need it because it represents only 5% duty on average * 3% of their business, that is 0.15%...

    trex is not staff. I believe we reflected the national average, 3 voted in, 3 voted out. All of us want the best outcome. Personally, I'd like one step short of FOM and one step short of single market. I would be content if we go for customs union.

    Trex was a little antagonistic, been told off by Hatti. Consequently, he's closed his account. The Woosh account is usually used by tony@wooshbikes.co.uk. Hatti and Andy@woosbikes.co.uk also post now and then. Tony looks after the Woosh website. (This post is made by Tony)

    We can't go low, we can't go high. So we huff and we puff and we threaten to punch our neighbours in the face. Well done Bozo and Hammond. You've summed up our national response.
