    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't understand the logic. Every argument used to say the UK is "better together" used to try to tell Scotland they should stay, is how shall we say it, a touch hypocritical, when used by an English government, ignoring the will of the Scottish, whilst also taking them out of a very similar...

    You've linked to something that we have to pay to view.... not sure if that was intentionally ironic?

    Bosch Performance Line - Motor Loud Whining noise!

    I can not comment on Germany, but in the UK Bosch will not deal with the public. Your warranty is not with them, and they need a disgnostic report submitting before the motor will be accepted. They also collect from the dealer. So you'll need to take the bike to a shop so they can plug it in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So you think being pro brexit is being pro trade? and equally, because I'm worried by Brexit, I must be anti trade? That's worryingly ignorant.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    hedging their bets, ie planning. Yes of course. But its been said that if we leave the single market lots of companies will leave. That was described as "fear mongering" I can assure you its real. 3-4% rise isn't as big as most. But that's above the current rate of inflation, so are you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would be VERY happy to eat my hat. I don't want to be right on this. I want the UK to be successful. However prior to the vote, I spoke to a number of people I know who run businesses that are based in the UK and represent US brands that use the UK to access the EU market. They all said...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can, and I think I just did, didn't I? Most things, the public can't be trusted to make a decision on. I can't even be sent to Morrisons on my own, I just come back with bakewell tarts!! I have a detailed knowledge of the workings of the EU and the benefits it brings, we trade within, we've...

    Lol... really. I'm afraid you can. Most people don't have a clue about most things, and I include myself in that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    nope.. i have no problem with people disagreeing with me. I do have a problem with the goverment listing to people with "opinions" that are in many cases based on incorrect information or a small sample of examples. Government should be listing to experts. Its why referendums are a bad...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm guessing you've seen this David? "OLAF calculated that U.K. customs’ “continuous negligence” deprived the EU of €1.987 billion in revenues in lost duties on Chinese merchandise. The highly sophisticated organized crime network also stripped €3.2 billion from the value-added-tax income of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sorry, only just spotted this and I think it deserves a reply. Not sure how you can accuse me of being anti trade, seen as its what I've spent the last 20 years of my life doing. My company has traded with the US, Asia, Australia and the EU, and I can assure you my pro EU stance is based on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You might be in favour, and you might have a specific example upon which your opinion is based. Those kids would have done just as well at any school because they wanted to work hard. The point I made is that you might be wrong when you look at the national picture and what the experts think...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    and yet the experts... people like the NUT don't think Grammar Schools are a good idea. Another example of something that may be popular, but isn't for the good of the country, it just benefits the top small %. Now what does that remind me of???

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Where is the logic that the EU have something to loose coming from? If we leave, the worse the deal the stronger the EU will be. If they give us a good deal, it'll weaken the EU.

    So here's a view point from someone with a lot more knowledge then me. Is this what you voted for Tillson? Or do you think this outlook is far fetched?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is possible to be a net contributor to something and view it as a positive and worthwhile! ie worth the money. Post Brexit its likely their appreciation of the value of the EU is going to grow not shrink, especially with the companies who are likely to relocate to Dublin to keep access to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, that's true. My point is that about 1/4 of the UK voted leave and they have a duty to show the other 3/4 that its going to be a good idea and a positive. You can't just sit back and expect us to make your plan work, when we don't even believe it will. Sitting back and saying suck it up...

    Good mud tyres for a Haibike Fullnine

    Also.. mud tyres.... need to be narrower, not bigger. They cut through the mud and give more clearance. Don't go 2.4, try 1.9!
