Stats on ice are often greatly obfuscated eg using area not volume, segregating sea ice and land ice etc, it makes it difficult to form an opinion at to what is exaggeration or misleading.

There are additional complex factors such as the land bounce-back when sea levels rise, the partial flotation reduces pressure.

There is also very little information on the effects of tectonic movement on sea level.

I know the predictions are struggling but of course air pressure, air movement, salt movement and gravitational changes of other bodies etc all affect the distribution of water and its only relatively recently we have figures that could truly be called mean sea levels.

I think it fascinating that we have huge tidal range differences within the UK, Bristol and Liverpool are huge, Mull of Kintyre is tiny. From a basic map the reasons are not obvious and over time you'd expect scouring/deposition to have levelled depth and hence ranges.

I have just read some further posts. Absolute disgrace to demolish such a fine redbrick building. There was a patio at the rear which looked across to North Wales. Had a small Orchard and what was called the Dell on the side with a little cave, fond memories but, as mentioned criminal to knock it down. I drove down Eleanor Road some years ago to see it again, failed to locate as I was unaware it was no longer standing.

I've often said the if you force targets on people you end up with liars and cheats, this was my suspicion in the Lucy Letby "baby murderer" case. Here was a hospital department failing badly on targets.

Lucy was convicted without any hard evidence, primarily on statistics and opinion, here are some points to consider ....


A number of senior statisticians have stated that the way the statistics were used and interpreted was completely unsafe.

Her own boss admitted that she had made misleading statements.

The medical expert has changed his mind about three of the cases and now believes they were not murder.

The systems used to show when she was on the ward have been blown apart as totally unreliable data.

A lot of accusations happened retrospectively after considerable periods of time, it took over a year for this supposed information of murder to filter up the management chain.

The department's consultants will be very aware that some of the deaths could end their careers.

There was a huge trial by media with a heavy bias towards her being guilty.

To me it smells of a scapegoat scenario for a failing department or plain bad luck. She might be guilty, she might not, but she is innocent until proven guilty and there is no credible evidence that she is guilty. There undoubtedly has been some unsafe convictions against her.

The location the picture was taken is Terrazza Del Pincio, Rome

The car is a Sunbeam Alpine, probably a Mark III but might be a Mk 1 special, eitherway it narrows it down to 1953 earliest

Re: Silver bars diggingdeeper 29th Nov 2024 9:42pm
Buy metal from bullion dealers not retail, you won't find proper bullion dealers in the Wirral, or better still buy commodities rather than actual metal. Look at the huge gap between buy and sell price (40%+), you have to make that gap up before you break even.

I've never come across anyone apart from dealers that make a significant profit out of silver. I've had some lucky finds with silver cutlery but overall it probably didn't pay for my time and fuel, something like £200 up over ten years, I'd have made much more with copper.

With actual items-in-my hand I've made most money out of US dollars and BNIB classic car parts. I have some car parts that I bought in an Amazon sale for £30 twelve years ago and they fetch around £200 now (£250 retail), when the retail stocks run out the price could go above £500 easily, I didn't buy them as an investment.
