    Lexham Cycle Recovery Insurance - Don't get Caught Out

    At that price, a taxi home, get car and spanners, drive to bike, remove wheels and bring it home will be far cheaper. That's what I do (never had to yet, but that is Plan B)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Cannot agree more. We seem to have a system that exists to massage the vanity of politicians rather than govern. The latest EU nonsense is that vaping liquids can only be sold in 10 cc bottles rather than the 30cc that were normal. No doubt some idiot politicos feel really good about this. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And that is exactly why Britain is simply not suited to the EU project. Our values are so different.

    Equifax

    Yesterday my daughter badly scalded her hand, so I took her to Morriston Hospital, Swansea. Things began to go wrong when on arrival, she had to stand in a line for 10 minutes before seeing the receptionist (wisely hidden behind security glass) She was then told to sit and wait in a room with...

    non pneumatic tyres - good investment?

    The down side seems to be that they can only be fitted once. So, break a spoke and you need a new tyre as well.

    The "death" of the car, (as we know it)

    One way around it for just City driving would be to make much smaller lighter 4 seater cars rather on the lines of the pre First World War ' Cyclecar' Also, a standard battery which could be mechanically swapped at filling stations in a matter of minutes.

    Fascism returns to Spain

    This is Utopian thinking. In reality, because Catalonia is rich, the rest of Spain will always veto any desire for independence because money talks.

    Fascism returns to Spain

    I am Welsh, if you ask me my nationality I will say Welsh, if you ask me to sing the National Anthem you will get the Welsh one, not God Save the Queen. Personally, I do not wish for Welsh independence and I imagine that there are many Scots people who feel the same way about Scotland. But it is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Other than the few times that I have been ill, I don't think that there has been one day in the past 50 years that I have not driven a car.

    Are good times just around the corner? It seems they may be!

    I think that you are guessing. You have no way of knowing whether your statement is true.,unless you have access to all the data regarding the crashed car and the actual injuries suffered . Remember, a high speed crash can kill a person without any external injuries, just all the internal organs...
