But,but,but, The EU is a totally democratic organisation, all you need to do is complain to your MEP.

The future of ebikes will be a low cost model that looks reasonable, sort of Citroen 2CV, Ford Poplar, VW beetle, not expensive high end models.

Interesting, a motor in wheel style just like some modern ebike styles. Singer also made a 3 wheel version.

I had one of those Cyclemasters. Very reliable, had it for ages, nothing went wrong other than regular de-carbonising because we were using ordinary 30 grade engine oil then at a ratio of 16 to 1

Well, as Mao Tse Tung observed, 'All political power comes out of the barrel of a gun.' I think that Madrid is playing a dangerous game here. The so called legality of the situation is of no account if a civil war breaks out.

Much the same in Wales, here, the devolution vote was very narrow, but try to suggest otherwise and you get vilified. Also we have the language problem, just like Catalunya. It can be incredibly divisive.

Sorry to have been negative, but when people ask about a new bike, it seems only right to point out the downsides because throughout life I have been frequently disappointed by pretty faces! (make what you will of that) Undoubtedly the Gocycle is a good bike that will suit many people, but as...

The problem with nice looking things is that often they are just that. I do a lot of traditional dinghy sailing, and when the wind and waves get up and the old boat begins bouncing about, your only concern is just how seaworthy it is not how nice it looks. It is the same with an ebike, you only...

Mind you, in Lancashire they also do things differently, the proper response to a loyal toast, 'Ladies and gentlemen, The Queen.' Response is 'The Duke of Lancaster.'

And the Queen is the 'Lord of Man' there, not the Queen. Her portrait on their bank notes shows her not wearing a crown.

Watch the payload, not suitable for larger riders (Me!)

Mike , you are not thinking this through. From my readings in Wilki etc, Spain already is very devolved with some 50 autonomous regions, and with extensive local powers and local democracy. It is likely that some of the other regions would like perhaps more autonomy also. But they have a...

I don't think that the turnout is relevant. It is a matter of international diplomacy and that is an entirely different thing. We cannot recognise them.

Dublin Area Rapid Transit

Anyway, back to Spain. I have been rather shocked speaking to the only two Spaniards that I know, now resident in Wales. Not only are they opposed to Catalonian independence, but they supported the CG attacks on voters. Their view is that the referendum was illegal and subversive, therefore all...

Not so easy when you want to stay in a particular part of London. But my point was that when choosing a venue, London is so easy, everybody can easily get there, even from remote Scottish islands, IOM, NI etc. But for many, the sheer size of London is intimidating and to offer an Hotel miles...

I fear that it will be like Dublin in the 1920's

*+- Danidl, The All Ireland referenda only allowed Irish people to vote, exactly what has taken place in Catalunya. Yet you seem to suggest that all of Spain should have been involved in the Catalonian referendum? Therefore, should all of the UK have participated in the Irish votes and also the...
