Northern Ireland has its own Road Traffic jurisdiction, though they mainly follow ours. The mainland UK 1983 law as amended by the 2015 law were only adopted from 13th May 2020 in Northern Ireland. The 2015 amendment contains the permission for 4 wheels, this link is to the part you need...

He is wrong on that point alone, from the congestion charge on it has been openly declared that the funds raised are for the benefit of public transport and cycling. That is the real point of such charging, since the improvement of public transport itself reduces personal car use and therefore...

Your favourite twerp Geoff obviously doesn't think: The congestion charge lowered central London motor traffic by 20%. The scrappage scheme permanently got rid of a large number of the dirtiest diesel vehicles. The LEZ and ULEZ zones have resulted in large numbers of other high emission...

Welcome to the world of senior moments! Don't let it get you down though, at least with most of us the onset isn't until we reach about seventy. For those deluded enough to think they'd make good politicians, it can be anything over twenty years old. .

An increase in bus use! That's a massive understatement. Our bus fleet has doubled from 4500 to 9000 now and they are all much cleaner, gradually changing to pure electric. We also now have by far the lowest incidence of car ownership in the UK as people find they don't need cars any more by...

Exactly, eight deaths in 37 years during attendance by up to 74 million people at the very crowded and inherently risky event that all such events are worldwide. That is under 1 death per 10 millions, the same as the annual rate as the rest of England and Wales and slightly less than London's...

It's you who is misunderstanding and then trying to cover it with irrelevancies. I've made no mention of a war on drugs, only legalisation. Gross exaggeration of the effects of the carnival, as I wrote 99.9% of those attending enjoyed the event without anything upsetting them. Let me try to...

Wrong. That is one example of why I did know what you are aware of and what you are not. Back in the 1950s we had a very minor drugs problem with a very small number of heroin addicts. We dealt with it very successfully by supplying their need with heroin.bpc on prescription at ngligible...

Sometimes that is better, allowing for the facts. You quoted in an earlier link: "Despite making up only 13 per cent of London’s total population, black Londoners account for 45 per cent of London’s knife murder victims, 61 per cent of knife murder perpetrators and 53 per cent of knife crime...

Why do you concern yourself with distant events that you wouldn't go to any way. I'm in London but don't concern myself with that event because I don't go to it either. Big Carnivals are the same the same the world over, praised by the media for the good things about them and the inevitable...

Lots of people put freezers in out buildings, I have a neighbour with theirs in their garage. Makes sense having only the very low risk refrigerator in the house, rather than the known much higher risk fridge/freezers in the home. .

I'm well aware of that, but I was posting about their past activities in a different division which led to the company being split into two, the split off one no longer existing. Nuclear reactor engineering is likely to be a very separate operation with plenty of opportunities to lose money...

As Woosh said, we want to be convinced. This isn't new, Toshiba led this design field many years ago with Hitachi hard on their heels, but both found SMRs difficult to fund and lost interest. Rolls Royce are keen, but probably for government money and backing again. Fat chance, they've...

If we can afford to buy them, since it seems we can no longer build our own reactors. Hinckley Point is a French Chinese collaboration and the same intended for Sizewell C, which build won't even be financed until after Hinckley Point is fully operational. On January 23rd, EDF formally...

Across various brands the refrigeration fires have been mainly confined to Fridge/Freezers and this model happened to be one of them. Quite why that should be the case I've no idea. .

Yes, a Hotpoint (model FF175BP), very accurately brand named, all considering. .

Of course I don't doubt that, I knew it decades before you since it's been the subject of numerous attempts to deal with the problem over many years. It doesn't help that London is now a 24 hour city with many tube lines running all night. But the tube's historic design defeats all modern...

I don't read the Guardian and haven't taken any newspaper for 52 years. I don't watch the BBC too much but have many sources for truly essential news, rather than the dross that too often passes for news these days. I became a MENSA member some 50 years ago to prove a point, but immediately...

Precisely right, just as what you were trying to propose in your countryside life as opposed to my London one made no sense in determining anything at all. I'm glad you got the point. .

Don't be so complacent, you're not 78 years old yet and you've much to learn: My older brother and I were born in Central London, but at 13 and 10 years old we moved to a coastal town. He was always the fitter and healthier by far in those days. He went into farming and spent his whole life...
