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.

Brooks tend to flow along the lowest points in the landscape, so it makes sense to bury a sewer adjacent to it. It probably takes sewage from the houses both sides of the valley in the area.

Near Murrayfield Hospital one can see a concrete structure half hidden by the trees on google earth which may be a treatment works or a pumping station It looks more like a pumping station or maybe a cistern to regulate the flow during peak rain. Presumably the sewer follows the brook and goes into the Great Sewer in Birkenhead along the docks to the Shore road station.

Bus intentionally crashed down a snowy hill https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2...nd-schools-closed-as-snow-hits-yorkshire

What a calamity of errors by all parties, how can this happen in this day and age?

Bus company should have risk assessments and procedures for roads like this, the bus should not have been going down this road.

Council should have gritted the hilly bus route, there was plenty of weather notice.

Driver should not have attempted to take a bus down this hill, even chains would have been risky.

3/3 fail.

Looks like there is a good chance now. DNA tests on the forensic samples do not match and may show Peter Sullivan's innocence, also the dental evidence that was used to convict him is now in question.

It was stated in 2022 that he was unlikely to be released, he is now about 67 years old, he did have a string of non-violent previous offences.

This could mean the real killer got away with it and may even have died by now.

In this case I suspect some of the content is AI derived because you can see how stated "facts" are linked to reality but miss by a sidestep.

Perhaps we are considered the most moral country and therefore the most likely to cave in?
