    20mph Wales: Some roads to revert to 30mph after backlash

    It's a very complex situation, as a cyclist, motorist and pedestrian I have viewpoints from all sides. As a cyclist in a 20 zone who does about 12mph-15 mph it would be easier for a motorist to accelerate to pass at 30. I've also noted that many accelerate over to 20 to pass. There are clearly...

    from those days when I thought I was being sophisticated :laugh8: I remember doing an audio visual DJ set for my old employer with a stash of Belgian beer by my side. - five flags/six flags from asda in 500ml bottles with a stack of poppadoms. used winamp for visualizations on a huge projected...

    Possible Hefeweizen fail...

    I've never used WHC banana split but I do have a pack and it's down for my next brew. I normally use mangrove jacks bavarian yeast and have never had a sourness with that. The same applied to the wb-06 yeast. I've never needed more than 1 packet for 21 litres either, but I have fermented from...

    water additions

    Cheers, I think whilst I understand about leaving water uncovered overnight, I don't do a full boil so I could get spoilage microorganisms in the unboiled water?

    Chip pan.

    On a YT channel dr eric berg I think 🤔 said, 'you are what you eat is incorrect'. A cow eats grass, is it made of grass no! - you transform what you eat and went onto say that eating fat wouldn't necessarily make you fat. He then went on an on and on and when I woke up there was a bizzare...

    Electric cars.

    I'd imagine the E on fuel gauges isn't really E - when I came close to empty once and filled up to the brim it was a few litres less than the tanks capacity. @Chippy_Tea Why risk it though? The same applied to running out of juice on an EV but no fuel filter, pump or crud. I'm in the 1/4 tank...

    Israel.

    looking at the globe I can't see a path from IRAN to Israel without flying over another countries airspace not allied to IRAN and 300 or so weapons flying in a non-allied countries air-space is not going to improve relationships with those countries.

    After dry January...

    I find I often have too much stuff going around in my head at once. A beer or 3 helps to dampen down a lot of the cr4p buzzing around. @pilgrimhudd cycling is the other thing that helps.

    I wish I was able to describe beer as well as you can doc! 👍 My attempt would be a boozy spiced smack in the face of ooooh!

    Electric cars.

    The french have been alright with lightweight ICE cars but the germans have always had lardier offerings when I looked to get a new car saxo 1.1 vs 1.2 vw fox about 180kg difference. I always look to get the lightest suitable car for a size. That usually means better economy handling etc...

    Electric cars.

    you can only buy what's infront of you. until clean slate designs are introduced by legacy manufacturers this situation may persist. e.g My wifes 2018 ICE weighs 975kg kerb weight. it does about 280 miles on a full tank. fiat 500e which is a bit smaller.... 1365kg range upto 199 miles.
