Good luck with that.........this is a Tory politician saying this.....right? Just has to be a fact then....I mean it's not as if he's involved in any way. :rolleyes:

Attempts to view this as a tragic event, but one limited to mistakes made in the refurbishment of the Tower Block seem unlikely to succeed. Protests that the incident should not be politicised and that this amounts to "bad taste" appear to have been ignored. "The extent to which government...

Really?....................OK. "The flat’s owner, said to be mini-cab driver Behailu Kebede, reportedly attempted to warn other residents about the blaze in his kitchen, potentially saving lives. Neighbours told how Mr Kebede, a father of one, immediately raised the alarm after discovering the...

A tenant has already said that the fire started in his flat due to a faulty Fridge......though why you should feel this is important escapes me. What is important is that the fire spread rapidly up through the outer cladding and it is thought that the composition of the cladding panels (filled...

Sigh............................

I'm afraid that you're still running to catch up but losing ground. The Action group had already stated: “It is a truly terrifying thought but the Grenfell Action Group firmly believe that only a catastrophic event will expose the ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord, the KCTMO, and...

Let heaven save me from such a false dichotomy....you should be ashamed. Some might reflect that an overhaul of the whole system might be an answer rather than taking to the streets and throwing things. Now if I were an English person I might think that eliminating the class division permeating...

As a very old person I have oodles of self-doubt usually arising from my now imperfect control of my bladder and I'm riddled with scepticism...systematic or otherwise. I find your faith in the integrity of the justice system touching but having viewed inquiries and inquests for nearly eighty...

Not at all....not at all...I'm not assuming anything at all as it's clear you hadn't read any of the press accounts or any of the many background reports before posting. Nothing wrong with that of course...dear me no...but to condemn those who have as "politicising" the tragedy and of "bad...

Just think...if you had bothered to find out you also would be informed. As to your last remark...it's silly and really warrants no reply....however as a believer in self-improvement I would say that if I was really concerned with fire safety then I wouldn't do as Boris has done and have cut...

May God place a flower on your head......such innocence should not be allowed to go unrewarded.

Good heavens. :eek: You tell me this now? If I had known that Tom was a lefty and also a rioter I'd never have supported his views...dear me no. I mean that's bad enough but now you say that the organiser of a Grenfell protest is a brown person and supports Corbyn and was a suspected...

I can only assume that you've been living in a cave and have expressly ignored the post immediately before mine which shows that this Government's aim has long been to degrade the H&S regulations which help keep us safe in out beds.You are also clearly unaware of the circumstances surrounding...

I think this is totally wrong. To regard this as merely an engineering problem to be considered without any political dimensions is not only naive but profoundly mistaken. To introduce politics at this very moment cannot be viewed as merely a question of bad taste and to reduce it to such is...

The problem with oil-based chain lubes is that they attract grit on the transmission and for someone who services/repairs bikes this is a real pain....in addition it does cause wear. For a couple of years now I've used a water-based lube which in addition to lubing repels all grit from all the...

True....and also noted for their hard ride.Their only virtue is their protection against punctures which make them popular with commuters who have to ride littered city streets, but other than that they have little to recommend them. The difficulty in fitting them to road rims have made them...

The most common reason for spokes breaking is too much flex and this is usually caused by too low a tension or the spoke tensions being uneven. If, when the wheel is constructed and the spokes when tensioned are not then adequately de-stressed, then they will unwind causing uneven tension. This...

Looking at the image on his website it appears to be the Bosch 4AH battery...the same as mine. I'm 12 stone and on a moderately hilly course I can manage around 26 miles using the lowest level of assist so I have to agree with the post above that this achievement of 41 miles is in the realm of...

Had a look at the Nano conversion and note that the battery used is the same Bosch one as used by ARCC innovations in their e-assist conversion of the Brompton. Odd that the range of the Nano is so much shorter (16-18 miles) as opposed to the approx 30 miles quoted by ARCC. In reality I find the...

As a cyclist the wind is your enemy. As a long-time touring cyclist, and one who carried camping gear around for over forty years, I found that porridge was the best food for energy in that its benefits lasted a long time. Not for nothing do the Newfoundlanders call it "work food". Bananas are...
