England voted out by a clear margin, Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain by an even clearer margin. The UK is getting out of the EU, soon to follow, the possible break-up of the UK. The Pound has been dropping since and will continue to drop until someone in our government figures out...

No post war government treats the nation's finance like household budget anymore.

Hi Tom, that was to add to OG's comment (Something along the lines of "Hoisted with his own Petard" springs to mind!). I meant costs to all net contributors to the EU budget that creeps up over the years. The EU is a club whose members are bound by a common ideal: equal and prosperous for all...

expected reaction to Mrs May's yesterday interview: the Pound drops sharply today - down to $1.21 this morning. Would it change some brexiters' resolve?

All members states have been pushing so long for an ideal Europe with little regard to costs.

I thought Mrs May was straightforward enough in the interview. The tories will take us out of the EU and the SM. They will try to negotiate a transitional deal. If that deal cannot be reached in two years, they'll go without. The tories will take us to a hard exit unless there is a vote of no...

it may work for large users like the post office where they can share the same refueling installation. For individual customers interested in a quick recharge, it would be quicker and cheaper to buy a spare battery.

I agree. Brexit will inevitably lead to Scottish independence and Irish re-unification.

it will be £1,049, same price compared to the 2017 Zephyr-B. Both have the same motor, controller, LCD and hydraulic brakes. Same 21kg weight. Differences: the Rio MTB is of course not foldable. Other than that, the Rio has very high spec components: 13AH semi-hidden battery while the Zephyr B...

Hi Clare, The Woosh with the nearest specs compared to the Oxygen is the Zephyr 2017, a full suspension bike that happens to be foldable. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?zephyr-2017 Woosh will have a hardtail MTB with similar specs beginning March, called the Rio MTB.

I reckon T May has two years to work that out. Whichever plan she may come up with, half of the tories won't like it anyway so why rush? The new relationship with the EU will take a lot longer to work out, therefore both the EU and UK will want to agree on a transitional regime.

There is an economist in my family and he is not afraid to say that economists make mistakes all the times because of the large number of significant variables that are not precisely known at the time of prediction. There is a 'remain bubble' at the moment which wants to believe that brexit will...

I agree. Obtaining growth by consumer credit is never a good fix. John Maynard Keynes made the remark that what we seek to promote must not only be better but also substantially better to overcome the evils of transition. The government needs to show that brexit should be substantially better...

You would still have to take into account mechanical loss due to road surface, air resistance and voltage drop due to the internal resistance of the battery, low voltage cut off point of the controller. Typically, about 20% of the battery capacity can't be used if the assistance required is that...

We sell at the same price to Nowegian customers but we charge extra £15 for shipping to Norway the BBS01 or BBS02 kits, £30 if you order with a battery (you get £20 discount if ordered with the battery, to soothe the pain of delivery cost). For example, a BBS02 with 15AH HL battery and charger...

What we need is a vision for the UK after brexit, a kind of manifestos from the tories.

Hello anchorless, Usually, conversion is the way to get something special that you can't find in a ready build and/or to save you a lot of money. For your budget, I would have thought that you should look into ready made bikes first. From Woosh, there is the £699 Sirocco...

I don't think we have much choice in the matter. We will need trade deals as soon as. The whole world knows that. The problem for us is unfair competition from our opposite numbers. They may not have the same welfare and product standard (eg GM ingredients in US food), their workers may have...

Re replacement of Ian Rogers: It's kind of ironic that the remain campaign was based solely on economics and now the brexit negotiating team concentrates only on trade and economics alone.

The Woosh Gallego comes with its own carrying bag. It's about as affordable as compact folding bikes come, never mind it's electric. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gallego
