Re: BBC have stopped iplayer
If you are on a Samsung TV then BBC have put out changes to iplayer that mean you can no longer watch it on many models.

Re: Do any rear lights exist that mount to saddle rails and take AA/AAA batteries?
Quick remedy Length of 22 mm PVC pipe cut slightly wider than seat rail, then cut two recesses in the ends. This will then push-fit onto the rails... for more security a couple of zip-ties will ensure a solid fit That's a nice idea, but I foresee complications, as rear light brackets aren't usually...

Re: ** The General Election Thread **
Talking of trees ............. the various parties are saying they're going to plant (countless) millions of trees. Where are they going to plant them? Not round here I hope, as we have too many of the damned things as it is! If it the Tories they will plant one and then claim that all the existing...

Re: ** The General Election Thread **
Somewhat between bemused and angry listening to a Tory as. The background music was Zadok the Priest, written, of course, by Handel. It is meant to sound patriotic. Handel was an German immigrant.

Re: Boris Johnson: Why is a proven liar in power?

Re: Boris Johnson: Why is a proven liar in power?
Yes it was in cabinet papers released after 30 years. Johnson's cabinet is as far to to the right as Hatton was to the left in terms of British politics. A number of the BNP general election pledges in 2005 are now Conservative party policies. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/thatcher...

Ok, do you object to police acting on evidence from privately-run bike/dash cameras?
