    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We don't own it any more. R& D jobs are still created here, manufacturing jobs that build the GDP have gone East. Who is going to build our GDP in the future?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I invite opinions because we almost reach an impass with regard to our relationship with the EU before the referendum. I think it is hard for us to stay at the top. My early career was in electronic manufacturing, at a time when we still hand soldered transistors and other discreet components...

    Battery Check

    Yes, Peter. The reading should give you a pretty accurate charge state. When 100% full, it should read about 41.5V. Each 1 Volt drop is worth about 10% of the capacity, so 40.5V: 90% remaining 39.5V: 80% remaining 37.5V: 70% remaining 36.5V: 60% remaining 35.5V: 50% remaining 34.5V: 40%...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just finished watching Mrs May delivering her speech at Davos WEF17. Sounds good to me. Could have been delivered by Cameron though. Meanwhile, this titbit of information shows why the UK and the EU need to change: Chinese living in extreme poverty 1981: 8 in 10 2010: 1 in 10 Globalization has...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    t agree it is diplomatically high risk but I wouldn't accept it's high risk economically. The BoE's counter-measures seem to be working. The market seems to expect parliament to vote against WTO / no deal outcome.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If the UK parliament voted against the deal at the end of the A50 process, I think there is a very good chance that brexit won't happen. It will be a matter of common interest and mutual benefit to both UK and EU to then call off A50 or to extend the two year deadline. Mrs May's offer to deal...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Inflation caused by the weakened Pound can reduce the trade deficit, discourage consumption, encourage exports, boost corporate profit. Basically, make the poorer families pay the cost. If inflation is high enough and half of the UK is willing to pay the price then brexit will succeed.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    She may secretly be wishing for the negotiation to unravel, we will have no transitional deal at all at the end of A50 process then brexit will be proven prohibitively expensive. Don't forget that the UK have two fundamental problems that won't be miraculously solved by inflation alone: high...

    He uses his un-PC language just like zlatan misspells EU officials' names to annoy the remainers . BTW, is zlatan a Russian name?

    I remember well how messy it was selling electronics to French shops in the early 70s (still was until the single market) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Half of the UK sees the current membership deal as rubbish so Mrs May will be able to claim victory in any outcome. Parliament may disagree though. The only thing that would move brexiters is high inflation. How high is high enough? that is the question.

    The EU will have to change a bit before.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    She does not have much of a choice, being without a mandate of her own. Her brexiter MPs enjoy strong support from their constituencies and having waited for so long, will throw everything into the fire if brexit is reversed. That means certain snap election. Her remainer MPs tend to be...

    No, that wire is not connected. I'll make sure that Andy call you this morning when I see him. Could you pull open the motor cable plug (the one with arrows), check the pins, then reconnect?

    Inflation will be the measure of success for brexit. Too much inflation will turn voters against Mrs May.

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

    Have they (Tesla) released the specs of their new 2170 cells yet? What counts is the gravimetric and volumetric energy density of their new cell compared to the current best from Panasonic, Samsung, Sony etc. Until they do, I'll take the news as vapourware. There is a small saving on ancillary...

    yes, the other end of the motor cable, inside the controller box, between battery and saddle. The motor cable terminates with three bullet connectors, blue, green and yellow wires. One of them may be loosened. Are you OK with opening the box? If you need detailed instructions, Andy can send you...

    Mrs May did not expand on her nuclear option. I guess she meant going back to pre 1973.

    Hello John, Error 23 is usually caused by the motor cable not fully connected. Follow the motor cable from the motor shaft to the plug, about 8" from the motor shaft, you'll find the plug. Make sure the two arrows imprinted on both sides of the connector are lined up, push them in together...
