Actually you don't. The taxpayer spends billions subsiding the trains.

The Grauniad reports that John Humphrys turned on the bbc as soon as he was free to do so, What's the issue here? Surely working for any organisation means to some extent accepting the party line and not criticising them. Restrictions that no longer applied after he left. Maybe truth hurts? He was ...

If you use table service you get an receipt emailed to you. You can request a receipt at the bar if that's your sort of thing though! A number of retailers want to email receipts now (Mountain Warehouse, WH Smith for example). I don't see why I should share my email address and be inundated with sp...

The problem with using careless driving to prosecute phone users is that courts often found that holding the phone did not in itself amount to careless driving. There was an instruction from the Procurator Fiscal in Glasgow that no proceedings would be taken unless there was evidence that driving wa...

The only time the handling on my Long Haul Trucker was ever less than perfect was when I got a trace of wobble/vibration in the handlebars. Cause turned out to be a half full fuel bottle in front lowrider pannier. Moved to rear and problem solved. For that reason I wouldn't use a fork mounted bottle...

The Supreme is slightly higher but balanced by better puncture resistance and thicker tread so presumably long...

So you would ban Farage from TV? Think of the regimes where that sort of cleansing happens. Think where that goes. Ban him no? Give him less airtime? Definitely.

No it isn't. There was a far bigger pound/dollar drop in 2008. I've not looked at other currencies.

Just because they don't do as they say, it doesn't necessarily mean that what they're saying is wrong. Exactly. No great shortage of doctors that smoke. Very much a shortage of doctors who'll tell you smoking isn't a problem. Do a lot of doctors smoke now, more or less than in the general populatio...

There's a reason for that. Women commit less crime.

Probably too small a market. The Surly Long Haul Trucker has a max rider weight of 300 pounds or 136kg. The number of cyclists heavier than that must be tiny Too small for a viable market?
