Was it me or did it actually say one of the e-bikes weighs 190KG on the stats it put up on screen and I dont mean the e-scooter/motorbikes. Only watched on my iphone so it may just be my eyesight.

I've just watched it and the 190Kg had been corrected to 19Kg but I think the data pop ups for the first two bikes are the wrong way round. The folder is shown as 27Kg and the red one 19Kg. Nice promo video though.

Just over one third of my age! I wish we'd made the world a better place for you.

I was using the inclusive "we", all of the older generations whether politicians or not.

In defence of politicians, the money speculators have done more than a fair share of damage over many decades.

This is what happens when punctuation isn't used to the full. Revised it reads

We had, flecc, until the Politicians *****d it up !

Those commas make all the difference!

Great minds and all that!
It has always puzzled me why legal documents never include punctuation so that mere mortals like what I am do not understand and so we have to employ lawyers to interpret what would be perfectly clear if a comma had been put in the correct position or if the first party and the third party wished they had just gone and had a party round at the home of the second party ... I think :D

It's because they want the flexibility of making it mean whatever they want it to mean, to fit the circumstance. A bit like Humpty Dumpty in Lewis Carroll's "Through a Looking Glass":

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
