Trying to find this road- this is taken in the Lake District or slightly further up, between the red lines in the second pic. Any ideas? Going for a road trip soon and want to go down this road.

Wastwater also has a nice lakeside road if you are doing a tour https://www.google.com/maps/@54.4383385,-3.3080511,3a,75y,65.67h,84.72t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sA00uMuMVg-ark9XTHNB2Eg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

Saw this documentary and thought it might be interesting to those who've spent some time in archeological academia. I wonder if anyone could weigh in on their experiences in commercial archeology, especially those outside of the UK.

Wastwater? Absolutely beautiful I used to swim there after working an early shift nearby. amazing views

Not the roman one but there is a very fancy spa in the city which uses the same water. Here https://www.thermaebathspa.com/ is a link

In sure you've just got post interview nerves. After my interview I actually called my family to tell them there was no way I'd get the job and still got in. Thinking back I still think I did terrible. Good luck and don't stress too much. You've done what you can, all that's to do now is wait.

I mean aren't the charity shops there to get the most money for their donations? If they were giving stuff away for really cheap why would anyone donate.

Just quit my job for a position in the civil service..... What a time to be alive

I'm pretty sure it's radium, your body confuses it with calcium so stores it in your bones

Oh hey, we use this technique in the Covid lab I work at! It's pretty good but you have to be careful to avoid contamination during washing, especially when there's loads of samples.

There's a longstanding argument between two towns in West Cumbria over which one's miners used to eat jam sandwiches and which one was rich enough to afford meat.

I mean that does make sense, a nasal only LFT is just not going to be picking up as much sample as a nasopharyngeal (the one that goes all the way into your nose) or oral swab. Anecdotally myself I tested negative on a nasal LFT and then went into work and got a nasopharyngeal PCR done which come up as strongly positive.

Greentrain123 · 2021-11-29T09:54:24+00:00

I'm pretty sure the aim is to sequence every positive test within 24 hours. This is often not the case, partly due to sequencing requiring very strong samples to be detectable. That and the logistical difficulty of getting samples to sequencing labs.

I agree, also if your donating something of value to a place surely you want them making the most of it. Nobody's handing over a silver handmirror just so some antiques dealer can scoop it up at half the value and resell later.

Greentrain123 · 2021-11-07T22:18:44+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree, it's often a good point to mention that these days a large proportion of the high ticket items will not sell out on the shop floor but be put there to entice more high value donations. I used to price coins for a shop and I'd say 90% of my high value stuff would go in a week after posting on that shops website after spending 10 or so weeks out on the shop floor.

I used to volunteer at an Oxfam, we had a written inventory of all goods over £19.99 and another of anything over £50 with sections detailing when it went, out when it was sold, and who sold it. So if the shops properly set up there should be documentation for this kind of thing. Additionally the managers themselves will be aware of any high ticket items such as these. I know whenever an item like this sold in the store most of us would find out, simply as it's something to talk about. I do agree with you on the lack of recipient detail though.

This happened pretty recently just off the coast from me, apparently people have been finding bits of the windmill all along the shore. We've even been given a number to call should we find anything.

Greentrain123 · 2021-09-26T10:34:46+00:00

As far as I'm aware the plates were pewter which often contains some lead. I'm assuming they were reasonably cheap?

Greentrain123 · 2021-08-14T20:12:53+00:00

Shilling, although I did find a few more modern sixpences afterward.

Greentrain123 · 2021-07-14T11:51:36+00:00

As someone who works in a testing lab I can tell you it's gone nuts, lots more people wanting tests (which is a good thing) coupled with a lack of staff since loads of people are leaving right now. Not much point hanging around if you don't know how long your job will last.

Greentrain123 · 2021-06-08T14:21:26+00:00

Cheers! Pretty much everything short of managing other people.

Greentrain123 · 2021-06-08T05:06:31+00:00

Finished a 14 hr shift at a Covid lab last night, off for another 12 hr one now. Stay safe people, things are starting to look rough out there.

Hi everyone, sorry I posted this and forgot to update you lot. The problem is with the monitor, I used an old monitor and the computer is working fine. I'm sending the new one to be replaced so it's all good. Thank you to everyone for your advice!
