    Leaving the EU

    Is this going to happen while they keep admitting the Eastern block countries and possibly Turkey who in general have much lower living standards than the main Eu countries

    Leaving the EU

    Flecc I think it is fair to say that lies half truths and misrepresentation have been evident from both sides of the argument, Was it Churchill who said ''there are lies, damned lies and statistics ''. I think we are getting a fair amount of these. The problem for the out side is that they are...

Anyway looking at the bikes I was surprised to see that most of the more expensive ones just had a single chainring at front which was very small but a lot...

    Leaving the EU

    with all due respect to you trex, we are being fed b/s from both sides, and the truth is nobody knows what will happen if we leave. The converse of your argument could be that if we decide to stay , within a few months people who voted to remain may regret it when they see what it is costing us...

    Dutch Government banning most i.c cars

    Recently read an article that says that the hybrid type vehicles contribute more to air pollution because the extra weight causes more wear on tyres etc which is then transmitted into the atmosphere. Seems like every positive has a negative

    Leaving the EU

    Flecc as you say we will have to agree to differ on this but as always I have a great respect for the measured way in which you state your case. I just wish the people running the stay/leave campaigns would conduct them in the same way and treat us with some respect

    Wow looks like we will be responsible for world war three, the destruction of the planet a threat of terrorist attacks the destruction of Europe and various other catastrophes if we vote to leave the EU. Of course none of these are scare tactics but are total and indisputable facts because they...

    spare battery

    thanks d8veh. Will check the pins. Am assuming by polarity you mean + or - . Will the markings on battery be accurate or would a check with voltmeter be advisable I have one (screwfix type)but not quite sure how to use it, and as you say I will need to drill a hole to locate the battery. Thanks...

    Whoosh bikes and the law

    I think that as usual they are making a mountain out of a molehill. What difference does it make if the throttle takes you to 15mphbas opposed to pedalling. In my ( limited ) experience the throttle can be slower. Having said that I only use mine for sometimes starting off where it is on a...
