Interesting company. I lived less than a mile from there and followed them very closely indeed, as did anyone that knew what was happening. They never needed the AIM and went straight to the main LSE at flotation in 1998. Almost 50% increase on the first day and were the darling of the stock...

I don’t really know about that but would assume “pushing on” at that time would’ve meant tax-payer investment, in the form of further subsidies for private companies, tax-breaks, protecting profits and the like. And also any long term vision with a strategic plan which any government chasing...

Well there’s very little appetite left for any middle ground so the warfare is going to be in targeting the soft underbelly of the lunatics at the edges of both the left and right, so anyone deciding the middle is no longer enough and wants to get into bed beside them had better get used to it.

Well yes, but I don’t have the confidence we have the ability to be a world leader in anything unfortunately. That said, should finally see some big moves in biofuels, renewable diesel and so on now. Just a shame it’s taken the brutal picture of the economic reality to force the shift.

A bit futile trying to debate with a Green. To be honest though, the radicals will always undermine any sensible intent which will be to the detriment of everyone. Will kybosh any serious political ambitions too but that’s for another thread.

Been on the cards for some time. EU economic reality forcing the Exocets to be turned on themselves and fired right into the heart of the good ship green. Anyone’s guess what the UK will actually do with Miliband fixated and convincing himself he’s some sort of esteemed global visionary, and...

Just thinking about the saddle and wrists situation… Take a look under the saddle, you’ll see the two saddle rails and notice you can make an adjustment and slide the saddle forwards or backwards. That can make a huge difference to the comfort, completely changing where the pressure points on...

Well done, sounds like a really good start. That cracking bike choice should mean it’s efficiency allows you to go at whatever pace your muscles and energy levels let you, and enjoy the ride regardless of the speed or distance, which is a great starting point and something to build on...

What a fantastic choice you have made there. Efficient and uncomplicated, minimal maintenance, quality brand and a good price too. Loving the discs front and rear, flat bars, 2 front chain rings, flat pedals too. Anything more and it’s significant costs for minimal gains, and sometimes for no...

Proposals to require ESTA visitors to the US to submit 5 years social media history could make things very interesting. A couple of years ago was refused entry to the US on an ESTA and had no choice but to apply for a 10 year B-2. Was a bit of a nightmare taking quite a lot of time and a not...

I dunno, assumed Chelsea tbh.

Looks like we’re not content with enough unwanted records and could be going after the most number of ex-managers still on a club payroll as well.

The roof falling in on that place is probably doing everyone a favour to be fair. What a grim effort for a Christmas market. Didn’t see Birmingham’s market but would imagine it’s still a good one if that’s your thing. I do love industrial architecture and gothic revival was certainly showing...
