    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The current UK negotiating strategy is based upon UK arrogance on the world stage,it seems the Rees-Moggs of this world are stuck in the 1930's when we still had an empire and our navy ruled the world. They are of the belief that the EU needs us more than we need them. We have said we want to...

    There would also be a trade war at Dover....if we no longer have to pay anti dumping duties then bicycles (non electric) will be 60% cheaper in the UK than France....can you imagine that French/German/Italian bike assemblers will happily pay 60% more for their chinese bikes than we do. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It cant be 1. Ireland and Sinn Fein and the DUP all dont want a hard border...Ireland have suggested that NI plus Ireland should have a sea border round both NI and Ireland....that would effectively be a united Ireland,the DUP will hate that and May has just bribed them £1.5 billion for their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As I have put on previous postings.....it is the Leavers that will stop Brexit....the Rees-Moggs and Co are so arrogant that they have said they won't pay a penny to leave,they have also told us that the Irish border is only a minor problem and that the balance of trade is such that the Germans...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I only ask because ardent Brexiters,Rees-Mogg/Bone/Redwood and Boris all say that they won't give them anything,in fact after paying the EU £200 billion over the years they reckon the EU owes us money. Downing Street is saying that they won't pay that much and May/Davis seem to accept it is an...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is said that 60% of Brexiters accept our economy tanking as a price worth paying. I don't think anybody seriously thinks that divorcing ourselves from 60% of our world trade is going to help our economy. So if Brexiters are so keen on Brexit let them pay for it,I don't see why I should pay...

    Shemozzle999....clearly one of the few Brexiters on this forum,which I respect,it is obviously dominated by remainers. Am interested if you are ok with us paying the £36 billion divorce fee,or maybe more? KudosDave

    The government has another 'Baldrick' bright idea....give preference to young EU workers post Brexit. Ok I can see that under 30 year old immigrants are less likely to get ill and drain the NHS,they are also likely to be fit to work on the farms and in the NHS....but they are also the age to...

    Not sure whether it was a typo but that word 'flustated' is brilliant a combination of flustered and unstated,says a lot about the UK governments current position and Barnier's attitude to it. KudosDave

    What is reasonable price for nipping up bike disc rotor?

    I am not a bike shop,I am a mail order warehouse,the last thing we want is customers bringing bikes to us to repair,that is the job of a LBS. I changed my tone because I moved away from jest to telling it as it really is....sadly times have changed,rent/rates/insurance have risen so much that...

    What is reasonable price for nipping up bike disc rotor?

    To be serious for a minute....if someone comes up to my warehouse on a Kudos bike or any bike and we can help them one of my guys will break away from his job and help them,if it's a quick job we don't normally charge,it happens rarely so I accept it. But I am respectful of the local bike...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Current politics is personally working out quite well.....Trump is wrecking the value of the dollar against the £,so US and Chinese product is getting cheaper and May/Brexit is wrecking the value of the £ against the Euro,so our products look cheaper to the Europeans. The EU seems to be getting...

    OMG you surely didn't expect the £53.00 gets you any work,that's assessment and analysis time....we don't have mechanics,we have technicians,you have to pay extra for the job title. By the way,we are not an LBS we are an e-bike academy. We don't fix punctures,prefer the modern way of 'plug n...

    The one thing I agree with Farage is there is no such thing as hard or soft Brexit,there is Brexit or No Brexit,anything in between just doesn't make sense.....if it's soft Brexit we might as well stay as we are,if it's hard Brexit the damage is so great we might as well crash out. But I suspect...

    There are ardent Brexiters who are xenophobic and don't want 'foreigners' ,but most sensible people are keen on free movement....some stupidly didn't realise that restriction of free movement is a 2-way street and that if we restrict EU people coming here then we will be restricted to travelling...
