    My old flat a murder scene.

    I visited the murder scene this evening (not in a professional capacity). The pictures in the Telegraph make it look much closer to Northumberland Road than it really is. It's actually five or six houses from the end of a terrace near the bottom of Melville Road.

    It's spelt 'Waveley' on old maps.

    It's still a federal offence in the USA as far as I know so major institutions won't touch it.

    I remember the last campaign to short-squeeze the silver market (during Occupy Wall Street) it didn't end well for silver investors. Max Keiser has conveniently forgotten his part in it.

    I planned to buy some physical silver as a long term investment but the dealer's markup is around 50% so it would be a long time (normally) before I even broke even.

    Good luck with that mate! I've tried with two different exchanges and it's like pulling teeth. No matter how much ID you provide them with they always ask for more before they'll let you deal.

    It closed as a pub in 1904 as did around half of all pubs during that decade. Spennell's Directory for 1912-13 gives the occupant as being 'Anthony Greatrex' and it was still being referred to as 'The Old Black Lion'.

    How do you ask people to keep their distance? Or do wear a mask?

    Forgot mine the other night. I knew the shop serves people without one so wasn't walking all the way back home to get it. Hardly anyone around and nobody said anything. The joke is I normally carry spares but had a different backpack with me this time.

    There was a similar complaint when Walker's (also a jewellers) was built on the corner of the National & Provincial Bank, blocking off much of the view down Hertford Street.

    build round the fucker

    Behind the temporary shops there was a much taller building, a municpal canteen I think? And before there was a ramp there was a wide staircase in exactly the same position.
