    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Bit OT, but staff at Tesco's told me a while back that when this whole sorry state first kicked off people working there that weighed over a certain amount were given the opportunity to have 12 weeks off on full pay ! Some who had Diabetes who asked for the same consideration were told to take...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I believe we should keep looking for a vaccine at ANY price, doesn't matter how long or how much the cost. I am noticing as I speak to people and read around online, that those who take the open up and move on approach are often very young & healthy who don't consider it will ever get them or...

    Can’t find S-pedelec insurance anywhere, please help

    I believe you have to look under Electric Motorbike insurance rather than e-Bike or Pedelec, it seems insurers just haven't caught up yet on modern technology & electric drive systems for bikes. I remember reading somewhere it's expensive though.

    flecc..you really should get out more ! People have been doing that all over the UK since day one as I myself posted on here I believe. Communal gardens helped spread a communal disease, nothing different about London only it copped it harder like the in the war. What is different it didn't ask...

    I've got some of those "cyclist" type masks that are very soft and don't mark your face, you can slide fresh carbon filters inside so I'll use them riding in and out of town on busy roads.

    It's horses for courses as always flecc. Went to a large supermarket today and found very strict distancing rules in place, security everywhere and everyone behaving as they should. Walking to the store people swerved as I did and gave and received a smile. I was delighted to bump into a young...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The one thing I believe most will agree with is the next time we have a Pandemic, and make no mistake there will be, a lockdown be it right or wrong will be introduced and it will be sooner rather than later and probably tougher. Not everybody agrees it's the right approach but nevertheless the...

    We didn't get any texts, well my other half didn't. I wouldn't know about my phone I don't keep it switched on, it runs the battery down. I know you could ring your own Doctor and they had the authority to press a button and put you on the list but that didn't work in her case, she called the...
