    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    For sure, there are many days of associating themselves with the comments made and thanking each other for raising the matter... and if all else fails they can always accept and understand the strength of feelings...... before eventually getting on with it :)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Some of us go back to Wilson and beyond (just) but my experience of all governments is largely similar. Personally I don’t think any government is particularly to blame for NHS performance or indeed public service in general. Demand is the issue and unfortunately artificially raised...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hang on I never mentioned spending levels. Perhaps I didn’t explain myself properly. My point was and remains, if you go out to bat with an important policy in your manifesto, and you do this election after election yet choose to do nothing when you have had the opportunity to do so (...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    government bashing is popular because the majority of voters did not vote for this government, posters on this thread reflects nearly accurately national average. Well if you say so.. funny but it rarely changes.. Yeah, but if you lead your election campaign along the lines of “something...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All political parties do things that suit their aims rather than suit society in general. It’s unfair to say that XXX party should have done something when in fact all governments have opportunities to do things but choose not to. There are always inconsistencies in words versus actions and...

    Police ebike checks.

    Ouch.. I hope there was no lasting damage to you? If the motor was a 'write off' I presume they would have struggled to prove anything about it other than maybe it had a label on it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You and I both know that the BBC don’t care which way people voted. They don’t care what the outcome is and they don’t care that in truth it’s all over now. The outcome of any of these political issues, human tragedies, natural disasters is all the same to them. It allows Laura Kunsenberg To...

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    Police ebike checks.

    Whilst I am old, a bit fat and ride a bulky bike I can “just” hit 40mph on the flat and my motor has stopped helping me a long time before I get there...... And I would say nope you can’t ride it. I’ve never yet met a difficult bobby and have confidence in my ability to satisfy the request...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not sure all boy soldiers realise what they are signing up for as witnessed during the lead up to the Falklands conflict. I know when I was in the province 16yo trades weren't considered for posting there but anyway.. I've no dog in this fight :) (edit) just for clarity as it could be wrongly...
