Nothing really. Halfpennies were originally made of solid silver and they sell for upwards of £50 each, depending on rarity.

The same thing happened in Vietnam...

If the Tories use the pandemic as an excuse to not raise pensions this year then next year they'll find a different excuse and so on the year after that. You can always find a reason why something should be raised or not raised if you look hard enough.

I was hugely disappointed on account of the sole purpose of the fan-campaign was to bring back a favorite character and give us all some final closure.

I'm curious to know what you think about the tagged-on series finalé of Timeless? It was cancelled - twice I think - then there was a campaign to bring it back for at least one final episode for reasons that will be clear when you see how it originally ended.

"Timeless" was a shameless rip-off of a Spanish series called "El Ministerio del Tiempo".

How many pairs of boots does one woman need? I was forever tripping over boots left on the staircase by my housekeeper and told her so in no uncertain terms. She eventually started storing them away where I couldn't see them. She got her revenge though. After she passed away I reached for a...

Yes. I sent it to Ancestry DNA's lab in Ireland and then submitted their test results to Heritage DNA and FamilyTree DNA for further analysis.

I registered with Ancestry and two other so-called DNA testing sites using a false name. Despite several thousand results so far they've yet to find a single close relative. The closest Ancestry got a was "3rd cousin" who might be related to the false name I gave them who could have been found...

ALL children should receive free school meals, regardless of family income.

I did this once, starting very small. Installed one of those programs which matches bets in a horserace. Discovered at the last minute that if a certain outsider won I'd have been out of pocket around £600 for the sake of a few quid profit. Fortunately it didn't but gave up after that and...
