Flecc, I suppose that it is the usual love/hate relationship. I have lost count of the number of times that I have promoted a London venue for National conferences of various charities and other organisations that I have belonged to in the past. All the Motorways and railways lead to London. The...

I agree. Scotland or Catalonia could theoretically exist as separate countries. London on the other hand could not. At the simplest level, where would it draw water? Vegetables and meat could only be raised in small quantities. All the National structures from the Civil Service to large firms...

Flecc, Your answer is a good example of debating, not the vicious waspish ad hominem attacks that Old Tom likes to indulge in.

Tom, You really don't like people disagreeing with you do you? You will not tolerate the views of others. Your ridiculous parable about Mein Kampf. Can you explain what is ridiculous about it? You said don't judge a book by its cover. cannot excuse you from your discriminatory comments in your...

So, if the book cover says 'Mein Kampf' you should not judge it. Sorry Tom, must disagree. Failing to observe the obvious is an easy way of lining yourself up for a Darwin award. So an insect has black and yellow stripes? ignore it? People who choose to dress in anti social ways are more than...

I can only fume quietly at this injustice. I do hope that Judge Pringle gets hauled over the coals.

I like the Chinese approach where the customer is King. If you want a throttle, you can have one, just that you must fit it yourself. On the other hand, it appears that Germans don't really sell you a bike in the sense that they reserve part of it to themselves (The electronics) and only they...

Why not just buy a Chinese bike? Serious question. I would not look at a German bike.

Must support Woosh. My Gale has suffered terrible abuse because it was cheap and I put it through all sorts of dreadful demands. In 5 years I have replaced 5 spokes (all my fault for riding off with the lock chain still fastened around the rear wheel), and recently bought a new battery because...

Being of a malicious mind, I wonder what would happen if a citizen of the Republic were to ride over the yet as non existent border and get themselves booked etc. If they were convicted, the resultant appeals to the ECJ could cause enormous embarrassment to the UK in the sense that an EU...

Obviously some people want to keep the thread going, personally, I got bored by it. Once most people get fed up with it, it will fall away. We are not the only site to have a huge Brexit thread, but most have withered away to a handful of diehard arguers of both sides.

After the VW debacle, I don't trust German manufacturers when it comes to electronics.

I don't think that you could get up the sort of hills where I live without gears.

Some years ago, my father took advantage of the Electricity Companies offer of a free wiring check in the house. Afterwards, he worriedly showed me a form which looked reminiscent of the old MOT failure form, and was obviously designed to be so. Many of the boxes were marked in biro as 'F' which...

Is it possible to buy individual cogs?. As to the question of spacers, if using a 7 speed and you only want 5 gears, why not make speeds 6 and 7 the same size cog as 5, and then use the H L screw to try and restrict movement beyond gear 5.

Well this is what British Justice is all about. The technicalities of Manslaughter/Furious driving are not really important. He has acted like a dangerous and deadly fool, the Jury, heard the evidence and had the responsibility of bringing a verdict. They convicted him of a serious, but lesser...
