    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I was listening to some broadcast from some place recently with my little ear, where the speaker suggested it could well be 10 years before we have a effective vaccination or even as much as a whole generation could pass by until that becomes a reality. Football fields will become meadows full...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There's no way yet of knowing how long antibodies last within our bodies it could be a very short period, plus of course we now know for sure you can catch it twice so I believe any thoughts of herd immunity are ATM a pipe dream. Maybe we should be looking at other places further afield for an...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    According to Sadiq khan London has 17,000 infections, so not exactly gone though has it flecc ? and it's not over with either. Sadly I would expect another hard hit until they get real and lock down just like they did last time, we'll soon find out what's what in the weeks ahead.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think they did that during the war Barry only they forgot to leave masks in the room. Does seem odd though, I was in a large indoor shopping centre recently masked up of course when a man walked through without one on. Security "invited" him to leave but he would have non of it, more security...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We seem to be living in a country of believers and non believers split right down the middle. There are many that for genuine medical reasons cant wear masks, others are making excuses because they just don't want to know. I personally know of a great deal of people young and senior who are fit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suppose it's like when you're young you feel invincible, look at all this Parkour & Freerunning. I watched a couple of people recently clambering up the side of a community centre hanging on by their fingertips and leaping from wall to wall, in your youth you just don't consider you could...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nicely summed up Barry, as we had with Schumacher best driver best car = almost unbeatable. That's why the only sport I watch is Cycle racing as there are so many elements to it a different person wins every time ... and it's free to watch in the flesh of course.

    I'm sure London buses had traffic light buttons at one time, flecc might know that.

    Stuck at the lights

    I believe the wires set in the tarmac detect the metal but remember it's all carefully worked out how they trigger. Notice there are usually several sets of detecting loops set so far apart, one vehicle drives up to the final wire and waits and if no others come along the lights change might...

    Talking of E-scooters which we were not, was it mentioned on here that the Gov have scrapped the official trial of the aforementioned because some people were seen riding them on the pavement ... no! surely not, as if. I've seen some sights over the weeks of the sort of antics kids get up to on...

    SS-Sturmbannführer Werner Von Braun wasn't captured by the allies he surrendered to them, or rather he got his brother to do it for him. He'd already decided he wanted to work for the other side having been arrested by his own lot for opening his gob about Germany's chances of winning the war a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It had been decided that Von Braun would go to the US six months before the war ended ! It had nothing to do with pressure from the scientific community. The US Gov nabbed thousands of Nazi scientists before anyone else got their hands on them just to further their own interests, the fact that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Germans had a secret weapon, Wernher von braun. A missile capable of reaching the US mainland was already being designed by him and would have sorted WWII out in an instant. The US nabbed him at the first opportunity and with his help went on to build a spacecraft capable of reaching the...
