If they think leaving was painful, wait until they try to rejoin. :eek: TTFN John.

Now that's an interesting thought. I would go along with that. :cool: Sounds like a winner to me. :) TTFN John

Agreed. The UK had quite an enviable relationship with the EU previously. None of which would apply if we requested to rejoin. I'm betting the pound would have to go as a minimum requirement. I was/am a definite "Remoaner" but not a "Re-joiner" what is done is done. No way back now which would...

Agreed, It was all going perfectly until it left UK airspace. :D TTFN John.

I didn't mean to disagree, more playing devils advocate. :D I think we actually agree on almost everything. Where we digress is in our confidence related to human behaviour when given the opportunities HS2 etc offers. TTFN John.

Why do you think I'm an incredibly negative person? Pragmatist possibly. The government's levelling up philosophy seems to assume everyone north of Watford has some inane desire to get to London as quickly as possible. When in fact all the average worker "Up North" wants is good secure career...

If we were talking about a UK High Speed Rail Network I would be more inclined to agree with you but even the original plans, ignoring the current stripped back version will do nothing of the sort. Once it dawns on the population of London that not only can the great unwashed get from...

Seems like typical world government meddling to me. Splitting energy rights across different sectors. All they will succeed in doing is making it more expensive for everyone. (But I guess that's the ultimate plan). I'm looking forward to when HS2 becomes the ultimate cycle lane. :) TTFN John.

So that means all types of IC? If so, it makes me wonder why companies are continuing to work on the development of green energy for IC engines. Personally I'm still not convinced 100% electric is the way to go for all applications. If governments have already decided it is, then I guess it's...

I think ICE and Electric will happily co exist for probably the next 15 years or so. Electric charging points will increase exponentially as the need is justified and ICE will reduce accordingly. But the time taken to fill an ICE car when compared to recharging an electric vehicle will mean the...

To be honest I'm bored by the whole soap opera. For someone who craves anonymity he seems to be doing all he can to stay in the public eye. But, it is fortunate that there has always been a film crew at home to capture all the pertinent nonsense. As to William attacking Harry?? I was a Rocker...

Just curious why you specify Crank Drive? Ok it doesn't have a chain guard either but the Cyrusher Kommoda looks pretty good. I have an XF650 and it appears to have the same rear rack (Which is very substantial). Components appear up to the job and the bike seems very well put together for the...

Not really anything to do with the cost of energy. (They don't use any). :D But when my late wife and myself used to go on late season camps we always had a pair of these. I still use mine today and although passion killers you will be hot in other ways. :cool: https://amzn.to/3uxGjEp...

I had a similar issue a few years ago with my Carrera Vengeance.. After re assembling it with 5 minute Epoxy I encased it in laminating film. (Several types available but the stuff I used had heat activated adhesive on 1 side and I simply "Ironed it on"). It's still going strong several years...

:) TTFN John.

Well, at least the next time someone knocks you off you will know it was deliberate. ;) TTFN John.

I can't find the one I bought but if all you want to do it keep a phone charged I have something similar to this (Mine had 2 USB connectors). I've had my phone and action cam connected all day and they work perfectly. I just connected to the +ve/-ve controller connections and added a switch and...

Well I'm certainly no expert on this but I do know that there are already many uses already for repurposed EV batteries. There are companies who will sell you a "powerwall" made from old EV batteries which will work in conjunction with solar/wind etc to run off grid properties. Renault and...

I don't share your pessimism. I think there will be significant development as newer technology allows us to push the boundaries further. I raced electric model cars back in the 80's and we all thought NiCads and brushed motors were the answer to everything and would only be developed further. I...

So we all agree then, don't trust anything written by anyone. Always make your own decisions based on extensive research. Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they really aren't out to get you. :eek: :D TTFN John.
