    dealers price for a 500w bosch battrey

    Nice of you to cover up the dealer name, but you've left their VAT number clear so its easy to see who it was invoiced too. But, yes as Wander has pointed out, you're not correct on the profit numbers. There is no one in eBiking making a fortune, the margin most eBike dealers get is less than...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Which brands of bike do you think this of? I can use KTM as an example... our bikes are allowed by the EU to have "Made in Austria" stamped on them because of the % of the labour / work that is done in Austria. However, 90% of the cost of the bike is bought in by KTM in $ or swiss franks, and...

    So Flud, can we just establish once again that the problem you have is with the UK, not with the EU. It might even appear you're a little be jealous of how the French operate ;)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't get it... are you saying that you think the French are bad for protecting their local workforce and making it hard for immigrants like your daughter to get a job? or are you saying the EU is a good thing because they've improved the situation so people like your daughter can now get...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I know many British people who are working in the French Alps as Ski instructors. We used to distribute a brand of Ski / Snowboard goggle for a number of years so I worked in the Industry and we sponsored lots of Brits abroad because they were a key marketing strategy to get to the people who...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The problem is you're thinking of borders in an old world sense. Estate Agents, banking, finance etc etc, can all be done remotely anyway, so if people want to under cut, they can do. Think Purple Brick, Uber etc etc, its all about cutting people out of the supply chain. Even with bikes, look...

    BBC - Blatant Bullshine Company......?

    not wanting to **** on anyone's rant, but I watched the BBC news this morning the they covered all 3 results from the games, and I think gave about equal time to each result, although granted they did only show the interview with Bolt. But he is the personality most people went to see I suspect.

    Bit more on whats going on... Britain's decision to leave the EU has led to a "dramatic deterioration" in economic activity, not seen since the aftermath of the financial crisis. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36864273

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All true... apart from this bit.. Some people are... not all people. But some people are thick and racist, some are one or the other. The problem is that this vote appears to have given some thick and some racist people the belief that the majority of the country sides with them. It doesn't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not predicting it... I actually predict we'll remain in the EU, the consequences of leaving are too great for the country, and the powers that be know that. So I think we'll stay. So I'm actually pretty optimistic about it, I just hope we don't have too much turmoil getting to a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    [ We're not in the € zone, so this won't impact on us at all, selfishly it might actually benefit us in some ways? So you're predicting a strong £, that will make our exports expensive, we'll also be outside the trading block who we export to most... so our exports will suffer again. And...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You make some good points Flud, ones that I might not particularly agree with, but they are debatable at least. However.... even the most intelligent, grounded leave voter has to agree this last bit isn't true. No one is accusing you of being a xenophobe etc etc. There is a % of leave voters...

    Personally, I've never said "all" about any group of people, and include that about "leavers"... however whilst a couple of you on here do have what appear to be valid reasons that you believe passionately in clearly, even you guys have to admit there are a % of "leavers" who fit into one of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Its also a nonsense thing to ask an opinion on... How can only 61% of people agree on a fact?? Its something that's not up for debate... its just a fact!! Could I set up a poll to see if people agree that today is Thursday? I wonder if some people would find something to argue about that???

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Really??.. I got this from my currency broker this morning... "Bad news for sterling from the International Monetary Fund saw the currency lose the ground it had recouped as the referendum result continued to affect its movements." I've not looked at the numbers in detail, but everything seems...

    Ok, so can you explain why Russia hasn't invaded, Poland? Norway? or pretty much every other country in the world? if the only thing stopping them coming here is our Nuclear capability? I think you'll find that capability is from an old world and no longer needed.

    I think we can all agree on one thing... looking at the current state of the economy, the country, politics and our reputation abroad.... we've all lost.
