the link to the telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/06/09/brexit-might-trigger-run-on-britains-record-financial-debts-sp-w/ I don't think the EU and the Eurozone are going to blink. France and Germany stand to gain massively on foreign direct inward investment, the Euro will...

by admitting that home build with twist and go is legal, I think the DfT won't be able to punish anyone using a twist and go throttle on a shop bought bike.

if only you have a twist and go throttle.

As you may well know, suppliers cannot yet get type approval at the moment. Suppose 6 months from now, quite a few manufactured bikes will be type approved with twist and go throttle. If the purchasers of the same bike, but bought pre-TA, buy a throttle on ebay and fit it themselves, do they...

I don't pay much attention to career politicians, they all spin all the TV time they have been given. I use google to check facts and recently use the BBC reality check website. I originally intend to vote leave but may change my mind.

I understood your previous explanation. My understanding is that there is no law or regulation against the individual who connects a twist and go throttle or derestricts a starting aid throttle. If the importer did this, he/she would need to put that bike through MSVA and pay £55 fee. But if the...

why then post purchase modifications of the push bike are any different from those of a legal EAPC?

yes, Brendan. I did see George squirm in his seat yesterday. I follow the fortune of both sides and I think the BBC reality check website is the key to bring a victory, albeit narrow, to remain. At the end of the day, people vote more with their wallet than their heart. A bird in hand is better...

I would have thought that in a contest as close as this, a bigger participation is the only way to arrive to the right result. A narrow victory for one camp or the other will surely justify another referendum in a few year time, for example when Albania is allowed to join or when the brexit...

I am looking forward to the ITV EU debate this evening. Johnson should be pleased, he'll be the only man on the panel. I often despair at watching old people interviewed by the TV presenters in pubs giving their reason to vote leave. It's not because they want to vote to leave, it's the range of...

the DfT seem to say that type approval is only applicable to manufacturers and importers, not to individuals. I still can't see the difference between a push bike object becoming 'permitted bike' once hitting the public pathways outside their home and an EAPC in the same situation. What is the...

People should be allowed to vote if they are entitled to. If more young people want to register to vote, then it must be a good thing.

it seems that the present concession to kit builders represents an unfair treatment toward the suppliers. They can't get type approval for their bikes at the moment. Also, does automatic lighting compulsory for e-bikes?

so what stops a customer retrofit a throttle?

put a dollop of grease on the gear cogs and around the bottom bracket, also on the left side of the bottom bracket. Wait a few days for the grease to spread out. The rubbing noise should die out.

you don't have to go back to the drachma to attract tourists. Cheap hotel rates will do nicely. Indeed, tourism in Greece grows at around 3.5% annually in recent years.

let's continue this conversation same time next year. I've seen the list of conditions that Tsipras goverment has to deliver. It's bitter medecine alright but it's medecine nevertheless.

you don't hear much about Greece recently because of EU referendum. Tsipras' goverment has implemented 95% of the conditions for the bailout program. Only 5% to go. The ECB will release the next tranche of funding some time next week. If you look at unemplyment rate, it has already begun to drop...

Greece's problem is one for the Eurozone and Tsipras' goverment has always had the choice to go back to the drachma. They chose to keep the Euro, reformed their pension and increased their taxes. Now they are on the mend. As many people have already pointed out, even communist Greeks don't want...

flud, the average debt level of Eurozone countries is 90.7% of GDP, UK is 90.6% The best in the eurozone is Luxembourg, 23% of GDP, the worst is of course Greece but in amount, it's not that big. The Eurozone does not run any bigger risk of going bust than the UK. Same for the Euro and the Pound.
