It's only advisory

The Conservative manifesto was a farewell note. The grey vote can be decisive, but the Cons decided to throw them away with, 1 Dementia Tax, 2 End of triple lock. 3 Winter heating allowance ending. Many conservatives that I know (OAP age) simply did not turn out.

Perhaps the election was only advisory.

I think that we are now talking at cross purposes. Originally, ebikes appealed to older, less fit people who needed all the help that they could get yet did not want a motor cycle. Then came eMTBs and a younger fitter group bought them. Now we have the situation that older, geriatric, arthritic...

Border poll, Advisory only?

Why limit it to 10mph? On my Tonaro crank drive I have removed the magnet ring and only use the throttle. I find it ideal as I can get full power at any time. I came up behind two people on Bosch drives on a hill outside Kemmel in Belgium. They were pedalling along at about 12 mph. It was a bit...

The other option is for a Parliamentary Jury. Ordinary citizens would receive a summons to Parliament and would have to go there for say 3 or 4 weeks, both sides of the house would present their arguments and the Jury would decide.

My preference would be for Parliament to only sit for no more than 4 weeks in a year and have a useful job in between. Their Parliamentary salary would be a multiple of their wage, so those who take soft options in charities etc. would suffer. Those who got real jobs would be quids in.

In some ways a minority government is a good thing, almost as good as no government at all as the Belgians found out when they went without for ages. The Civil Service ran the place just fine. Blair allegedly banned about 3,000 things. We just do not need all these new laws which in reality are...

Is this the Achilles heel of the Bosch system? Does it mean that the motor cannot assist those who cannot put enough power into the system in the first place? (unlike a twist throttle)

There were a couple of this style at the vintage pedal cycle part of the Beale Park Boat Show last weekend. One was a girl's bike with the 'tank' on the down tube. Just a fashion blast from the past.

Get well soon.

My daughter's cat was taken ill. Without an appointment, I walked into the Vet's, sat down, 20 minutes later saw a Vet. Blood tests were needed. No, 'Here's a hospital appointment form.' as us humans get. No, the vet did the tests there and then. Came out properly diagnosed and did not have to...

Problem really is that visible pollution like that is large droplets that quickly fall to the ground, the dangerous stuff is microscopic or invisible gases.

Cor, stone the crows, strike me pink, WOT a Fluke. Sandy joins today asking about a wheel, and within 30 minutes, Hobbsy replies 'Got one for you.'

I used self amalgamating tape on my electric boat. Fine, but it will not stand any abrasion.

Thinking on it, instead of heatshrink, why not use Evostick over the connection?

I carry old supermarket polybags and leave them over the handlebars etc. when I park in bad weather. All my connectors are inside the box that holds the controller, and that box is also protected by the battery (Tonaro Enduro) At the handlebar end and also the motor, I have used a blob of...

This guy had stupidly put his own life at risk, yet you are not willing to help. Obviously I don't think that at all, as no one however stupid, deserves to die. That person might deserve help though, how ever much it goes against the grain to do so. Eddie, you could have died trying to help...

I am a follower of Darwin. There would not have been a train disaster, just one mangled Darwinistic loser. My conscience would not have been bothered at all. Why should I accept responsibility for the actions of fools?
