Snow gates in Scotland

More likely they would sue me for riding a bicycle on private property.

The illiterate part would be easy.

I never did a rigorous test but my informal impression is tires are priced by the potential lifetime and the multiplier is relatively constant. In other words if you divided the price of a cheap tire by the usable miles versus an expensive tire the pennies per mile would be similar.

Typically they replace the standard receptacle in kitchens, baths, or other areas with water so they are very specific. Putting one in the breaker panel would be a nuisance since there are many things that leak enough current to trip them without being a safety hazard.

I put one in a a weatherproof outdoor receptacle when I set up a shelter for a cat with a heated pad since I didn't want to electrocute the damn thing if it chewed on the wiring.

Probably told him it was what I had on hand and would replace them with proper fasteners. The whole exchange was surreal. The car did not have a working speedometer and I was under the influence of a herbal product that made me incapable of judging speed when he popped up in the rear view.

You asked why cops might be suspicious of motorists moving very slowly. Well.

I know some people that have a TV and only watch Dr. Phil and the like so they would qualify too. If you watch Judge Judy you are not qualified.

or was it even included in UK law in the first place? I can find no references to it.

One of the objections Brexiteers had to being in the EU was that an EU Regulation did not require UK legislation to make it effective in the UK.

It might have been less than that. "Mini Tyre Size

----------------------- Between the years of 1959 - 1984, the standard size Mini tyre was 145/80 10"

Might be true in the USA but not here.

You can get cheap long life tyres if you buy a really hard compound with poor dry grip, harsh ride, and a lot of road noise.

went through them on the A7 yesterday....

But was it true?

I thought EU Regulations automatically became UK law and EU Directives must be enacted into UK law? Wasn't this a result of the Maastricht Treaty and/or the Treaty of Lisbon?

Now, if we had referenda on those treaties we might still be in the EEC/EU.

It was true that EU Regulations automatically applied in all Member States, including the UK.

What was not true were the claims about how much impact that had on UK law. Nigel Farage claimed that 75% of UK law originated in the EU, which was completely untrue. If you counted all Acts of Parliament that implemented EU Directives and all Regulations issued, but completely ignored the fact that many of those had been superseded by later legislation or were time limited and had expired* then a figure of 69% was possible.

• One EU Regulation, relating to the import of fruit and vegetables into the EU, is issued daily and is effective for only 24 hours.

A physical count of all legislation that was *active* in the UK in 2014 came up with a figure of 29% originating with or referring to the EU and

Dunrocks! The OEM tires on my Sportster were a Dunlop model know to be hard. I still had tread on the rear tire at 16,000 when I got sick of looking at it and replaced it with Bridgestone Spitfires They were only good for about 7000 miles but did wonders for cornering.

There's a house just down the road we looked at before we bought this one. We decided we didn't like the location.

It was a good call. They have a new front fence... but being the UK it's built of railway sleepers :)

I don't see anyone driving through it. A lorry might perhaps roll over it.

Of course it was true!

Surely you, a self styled expert on the EUs wonderfullness, know this?

The more time goes by, the more the ignorance of those who wanted to remain in the EU is displayed. It seems that they believed what they were told and were misinformed by the EU, the media and the government...

That is not true either. The 'entirely home grown' epithet can be applied to Ed Milibands 'Climate Change Act' but it incorporated and gold plated the EU Directives.

It is the single most expensive and egregious piece of legislation, that pushed the UK down a 'Renewable Energy' path that has cost us billions and forced investment into useless and mega expensive renewable energy and a reliance on gas backup.

When if we had spent the money on nuclear energy instead, we would now be spending a third as much on electricity and exporting it to France, Norway Belgium and Holland.

Siemens is also a big sponsor of the Conservative party, and the EU, and builds windmills.

Cui Bono?

I started down the path of why are we investing in stupid expensive windmills that don't work around 2011. The answer lead me to join UKIP and campaign door to door for them to get us out of a corrupt European Union.

I didn't vote Brexit because I was misinformed, but because I was

In which case it fails the test for being entirely home grown: i.e. without any influence from or reference to of even mention of EU Directives or Regulations.
