    Halfords Carrera e-Bike now only £799.99

    Technical question, Do loose spokes break? Or is it the ones either side that have to take the extra strain?

    Just one word. France. Why are the Beeb censoring the latest outrage

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I cannot see any judge allowing a prosecution for political beliefs. Neither would the government or opposition. They would all be quaking in their boots!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, 1 EU 'investment' was our own money. We gave them £3, they gave us £1 back but would not let us spend it on what we wanted. 2 Uncontrolled EU immigration put pressure on houses, schools, hospitals, surgeries, jobs and roads. Probably more noticeable in a small country. Anyway, despite your...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think that the country is split, I was at Rutland Water on the weekend and some people hearing my Welsh accent asked me about Brexit. When I replied that I voted leave, all 3 of them agreed with me and were quite heated about the venom coming from remainers. (Remaniacs they called them) The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This post is liable to split the forum, never mind the country with all the arguments. Better if we banned politics, always ends in tears.

    Are ebikes worth the price tag?

    One thing that has only been touched upon is, exactly what do you want to do with your bike? If like me you only ride on smooth tarmac albeit with some steep Welsh hills, then you simply do not need a high end bike. High end components are wasted on you because of the good quality found at the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Thanks Kudos. Does seem a bit below the belt. But as OG observes, where do we find a politician that does not lie?

    Why driving isn't fun anymore :(

    Must say that I am fortunate living in Wales. I drove around the M25 last week, horrendous and somewhat frightening.

    It is amazing how badly informed we were prior to the referendum

    On another forum, the point has been raised that the Arab Spring was a symptom of modern politics and elites are being overthrown, not just there, but the UK, possibly Europe and now the USA. So, put your money on Trump if you gamble.

    Should the over 70's be banned from driving?

    When my father was 94, I went out with him driving in order to surreptitiously check his driving ability. I couldn't fault him. he could also play the piano really well at that age.

    Somewhere, some reckless gambler/ international financier is making a lot of money speculating in the pound

    Should the over 70's be banned from driving?

    If any justification could be dragged up for banning the over 70s, then you would find the same in spades full for the under 30s.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Democratically? with an unelected Commission. there have been 72 occasions in the Council of Ministers where the United Kingdom has opposed a particular measure. It has been successful precisely zero times. We were wasting our time and our money in the EU. In many parts of the UK people were...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OG, you talk about the 1940's, well I am a bit older than you and can say that I enjoyed the certainties of the 1940's and 1950's. Like you, I was born into war and trouble and grew up to consider them normal. I remember well how when my Dad came home, I did not get on with him at all. But this...
