Someone has told Jeremy Hunt that a qubit can be either an 0 or a 1, or even equal both at the same time. So in his budget he's investing in the development of quantum computers and AI. Could pay off. A quantum computer programmed by what we like to think is AI could make our national debt...

I agree with Nealh, you have the best combination already, the older Heinzmann motor having excellent torque. Spending on a good replacement trailer will be far cheaper than a big enough electric cargo bike. .

Potentially a licence to abuse for the unscrupulous if not watched very carefully. An additional occupation for the current people smugglers, getting paid for return journeys instead of just singles. .

TGA Electrobike, sadly discontinued years ago instead of being developed. .

In a sense I fully agree, but the nature of the present situation and our poor prospects means it's more likely to be a very long drawn out decline, rather than any sort of an abrupt crash. Same destination, just a different type of journey. In fact a journey we commenced in 2016 after the...

Hopefully they've added expensive German pedelecs and not cheap Chinese folders. .

This new bank scare will fizzle out soon enough. For a change it will hardly touch us in the UK. .

Ever since 2008 investors have been nervous about a possibility of a repeat. This is another storm in teacup, especially now HSBC in a smart move have rescued Silicon Valley Bank UK. .

Is it this one?

A return to commonsense. .

There is an alternative. Since Northern Ireland is effectively still in the EU with an open border to the EU, despite the new agreement, send all the illegal arrivals there since N.I. is so seriously underpopulated. The rest of Great Britain has a population density of 785 per square mile...

Mountain goat country, they don't need wheelbarrows !

You'd need to mount the solar panel on tall struts or it would be difficult loading the barrow. ;) .

Margaret Thatcher appointed Marmaduke Hussey to the post to do her political bidding, seriously damaging the BBC which she saw as left wing. Ever since this has been a political slave appointment so I see no hope of anyone better. Nor any hope of the BBC returning to its former pre-eminence in...

It is definitively illegal since there has been a pedestrian crossing test case: "a rider either seated on a bike or with a foot on a pedal as in scooting is not a pedestrian, as ruled by Waller L J in the Court of Appeal, (Crank v Brooks [1980] RTR 441)." Justice Waller also clarified the...

It's more Toyota and Honda who are being cautious, being wary about the Chinese position with the essential minerals so not taking the full plunge into battery power. It's why Toyota are clinging onto their "self charging hybrid" concept for new models which Honda also have and which also...

Don't forget this is a 2035 ban on ICE engines and there are many earlier national bans such as 2025 in Norway and partially in 2030 for Britain and others. So the EU change if it happens won't have any effect until 2035, by which time production of ICE will have sharply fallen anyway as the...

:D. Of course they are, they all produce ICE cars and are backward on EVs ! As I posted what the EU decides doesn't matter, current plans to switch will go ahead. Many makers are far advanced with their plans, it's not only JLR who are stopping IC manufacture earlier than 2030 and Ford...

Not at all. Germany is so often out of step, the other member countries are used to it. You only have to note the way Germany has for decades advocated making friends withRussia, continuing that even now, which is why they were so reluctant to release the Leopard tanks. As for the many other...

It's not been widely reported since it isn't big news, since the EU cannot rule on this anyway. Each country can do their own thing and all have commitments to net zero by 2050, some/most certainly will not change their ban. Nor will Britain. I'm pleased to see their agreement with me that...
