in reality he was making a plea for some common ground between us. Ironic that you got it wrong. Common ground is difficult when we speak different languages. To me this (the disagreement on the forum) is still very much a tiff in the dining room of the titannic about the soufflé. out there the...

you mean Boris as a kind of hamlet figure struggling, philosophically, with his conscience? Thanks for that, internally it gave me cause for much hysterical laughter.

am stating the obvious, but have you recently read the sun (and Mandy from Rotherham's news in briefs)? in that parallel world brexit makes perfect sense until the price of lager goes up.

a life coach might say it's been a "transformational experience". I've come away disliking the Tories much, much, much more (for every self serving political expedience to resolve their internal divisions and not caring at all how disastrously much it damages the country or the poor). Boris'...

I don't think it's this personal. We're all adults. Brexit does not work as a business model, and the masses who voted for it is finally beginning to recognise this as international investors give them a message they seem to be able to digest. the personal narrative (a la boris and "the eu is...

this http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-13/boe-buys-1-billion-pounds-of-corporate-bonds-in-less-than-month is international investors offloading sterling assets, fast, and the BoE trying to stem the tide by buying it up. it wont work, Dutch fable about boy with finger in a dyke comes...

"greed", or profit, and "opportunism" or opportunity, are key elements of a capitalist system. Unilever isn't a registered charity. you didn't really expect them to only and exclusively factor cost into price? Brexit is devaluing the pound and causing rapid inflation/higher prices. Blaming...

this reminds me of blaming the BoE earlier in this thread for lowering interest rates and it devaluing the pound. it confuses cause and effect. Unilever raising prices is effect, brexit is cause. interest rates being lowered is effect, brexit and sharp reduction in growth forecast as result is...

I'm sure that's irony. Bizarrely of course also not, from a brexit perspective doctrine. other than giving the world boris, shipman, saville, glitter, etc, there is the pound, which I'm beginning to love as the official opposition.

why would we?

As this (rather clear factual) article https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/gbp-live-today/5590-gbp-to-eur-and-usd-decline-infancy suggests,there will be a rapid devaluation around triggering of article 50 followed by economic and political convulsions,a change of government and a more pro eu...

however the official opposition, aka the pound, is seems to be the only voice that can reach brexit consciousness. and my hunch is it will raise its voice, a lot. this little price increase is but the beginning. and no amount of anger or insults will make any difference to it. brexit voters have...

my point was really about production cost, but I gather some might disagree http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/global-bike-manufacturers-guilty-of-using-child-labour-claims-gr/03279 i agree, but it's sobering stuff, thanks for giving that menopausal sense of underachievement a slightly more...

erm, do you seriously think we can produce an e-bike for less than bafang can? If we cant I imagine the public will be happy to pay three or four times more than the rest of the world for something inferior. but hang on, our economy will be worth about three times less, as will the pound. hmm...

very true, on the plus side the dystopia in which we reinvent British Leyland, only 5% of the population can afford something that resembles a Yugo and everyone rediscovers the joy of holidays in Margate will mean not having to put up with any "immigrants".

sounds good, all one needs is permission to immigrate a few thousand Chinese/Indian children to do the eighty hour/week shifts. with a tory government this shouldn't be a problem at all.

but one cant help wondering what one has to do to not be popular in the UK/USA/be eligible for high office? rape, public bestiality, necrophilia? they said previously trump would do anything for publicity (that there wasn't anything such as bad publicity), have a hunch a vast segment of the...

listened to farage defend trump http://news.sky.com/video/farage-defends-trumps-alpha-male-boasting-10610958 don't want to engage in moral posturing, am sure we all have fantasy lives we don't share publicly, but there does seem to be something quite odd happening to the world. I'm sure we all...

however (and this is a big however), you're on to a feasible concept https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive our very distant offspring may end up having a very boring version of this conversation on 'intergalactic forum' (probably about whether a hub or crank warp drive is better)

thanks, I have a stepthrough 250w, but ive made the in my case happy transition back to ordinary cycling, and guess I'm simply trying to find out of there is a way to keep an expensive bike safe in a public space.
