Re: Quick Question

Sym is a Taiwan outfit and partner to Hyundai so it could be worse. As you say, it's not a top brand but their scoots are quite popular so it should easily reach the end of a 5 yr warranty if you...

I intend doing a lot of touring on my bike so I need much more than a scooter.

If you only want to do a bit of local commuting I think a scooter is the wisest choice. Is the scooter second hand...

Re: Quick Question

The higher proportion of twist n go accidents is probably down to the fact that a greater number of people think they can jump on one and go than think they can ride a (geared) bike.

If 100 people...

I don't think we were talking about getting a brand new, first licence I wasn't anyway). If that were the case you would be UK resident (to be taking your test in the UK?)

There are a few who ride "sensibly" but tracksuits and trainers should be an instant ban!

As someone with a full motorbike A licence I find it quite disturbing that Spain allows people to just climb on a 125cc machine based on holding a car licence for 3 years.

Re: ISA's and tax declarations

That's what I have found in various information resources. You can keep existing ISAs but you cannot add funds to them or open new ISAs.

Can't see why they would close one and move it to a savings...
