40% of the economy of the Channel Islands are from financial services, read tax haven and offshoring if you will. Current moves from the EU against companies offshoring their profit to such places will squeeze their importance.

Your GP is paid about £176 a year to see you. That's not much money to cover the costs of premises and support. Therefore, they have to take on more and more patients per doctor, hence the degradation of service. I have no problem with contributing a small sum per visit, like £10 to £20 and get...

funding for the NHS has gone up and up ever since its inception. It's nothing to do with migrants but everything to do with advances in medecine and people living longer.

has anyone climbed Porlock Hill? If a pensioner can climb Porlock Hill with your bike, now that will impress me. http://cyclinguphill.com/100-climbs/

I would suggest the Big Bear or the Bali. The Bear is hub drive, the Bali is crank drive. Hub drives are for more relax riding, meaning with crank drive, he has to think of selecting the right gear. The Bali has the battery in the triangle and lower rear rack,meaning easier to mount if he has...

could you tell us how tall and heavy your dad is?

if you own a house in Spain then you have already got your NIE. AFAIK the Spanish authorities will issue NIE to anyone who applies for it, I don't think they control who can and who cannot work in Spain through the issuance of NIEs to EU citizens. French Social Security number is more difficult...

if you speak of d8veh, he is the second most liked member here, just after flecc, and our number one technical guru. He has helped hundreds of members sort out their bikes in the past. Vendors are lucky to have him criticise their bikes. If he criticises you, take it positively.

he did say this about Obama in the Sun: and in the dailymail: Make of it whatever you will, but obviously there is no way Obama is going to get back at him for what he said. It's not the same thing here. People do get back at you.

flud,I have shown e-bikes to quite a few people and they come in all shapes and sizes, one size can't fit all. It's often the case that the more you know, the less you know. See what I mean?

the migrant issue is very muddied. If you look at the right of abode afforded to all commonweath citizens, it was stopped in 1982 and could not stop their continued immigration. Despite being outside the EU, Switzerland have a lot more EU immigrants as a proportion than we do. Immigration has...

there is no need to ride an illegal bike nowadays. if you are talking about the power of a 20A controller, hill start power is not limited, only the assistance you get when you reach the 25km/h limit that must be reduced to zero. The throttle replaces the sophisticated software and sensors in...

nothing beats a throttle on a hill start.

I don't think that the availability of verifiable facts is the problem, if anything, we have too much facts. It's their extrapolation by politicians the problem. I don't mind a little bit of convenient 'remodelling' but listening to George and Boris, the two possible PMs after Brexit, their...

that's why she needs a twist and go throttle. the DfT knows that, hence leaves a door ajar for a little longer. I would throw in the mix the woosh Santana CD. Jimod has a Santana CD with 14A controller. The new Santana CD has 20A controller and a throttle. It'll take her up Winnats without...

Sturgeon: Independence poll 'highly likely' if UK leaves EU the Pound (1.45USD) is also at its highest since January. All down to Barak Obama.

You can't leave any e-bike lashed to a post though, if the thieves don't have it, the rain will. There is only one folding bike compact enough to go inside a packed train and the underground that I can suggest - the woosh Gallego. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gallego

We are not abandoning the Conventions, just ECHR. I object to the lawyers who milk the system.

current poll of polls: in: 54% leave: 46% Theresa May did a pretty good job saying that we should leave ECHR. The only real issue at the moment seems to be EU migrants.

My comment (if your wife tires easily, a torque sensor is not going to help) is meant for TS only bikes, like most of the Kalkhoffs that the OP refers to in the opening of the thread. I read somewhere that a throttle could be added to some Kalkhoffs. your 905SE Torque has both TS and cadence...
