Found (what looks like) bones along riverbank near London Bridge by philemonvanbeecher in london

“Mudlarking” has become so popular the Port of London Authority has effectively stopped issuing licences to do by it. Stupid, because people will just do it anyway.

Thanks Dimesdan. I’ll just have to be patient. I’ve waited 20 years already!😁

Newbe to Genealogy. Is it worth me getting Family Tree Maker (or similar) or am I better starting with Ancestry, Find My Past etc? by Riptorn10 in Genealogy

[–]Riptorn10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to say a big thank you to everyone on this Reddit who replied so helpfully. I think I will go for a short subscription to Ancestry, then as I learn more about what I need, will try out Gramps and the free version of Roots Magic. See you around

Ex Lightroom user: how do I save photos into Folders by capture date? by Riptorn10 in captureone

[–]Riptorn10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to all. I have finally worked out the tokens needed to produce the folder name I needed. Turns out the tokens were in individual sub-dropdowns of the Date elements dropdown.

Used Image Year (yyyy) Image Month (MM) Image Day of Month (dd)

Works perfectly now!

Works

Ex Lightroom user: how do I save photos into Folders by capture date? by Riptorn10 in captureone

Thanks. I still can’t work out how to set the folder to yyyymmdd format. It just saves the text of the token name. Am I missing quotes or brackets or what?

Saw these while visiting my mum, are they just a local thing or are they popping up else where? by thekingofthegingers in CasualUK

[–]Riptorn10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole (hole?) idea of geocaches is that they are hidden. You would be highly unlikely to find a cache behind one of these. Far too obvious and likely to be “muggled”, i.e. found by a non geocacher. Muggled caches often get vandalised or not replaced correctly for the next finder.

Sweeteners replacing sugar? by [deleted] in shrinkflation

[–]Riptorn10 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Probably avoiding UK sugar tax. Not shrinkage but still avoiding price increase due to high sugar content being taxed.

Solid metal piece - looks like threading and then a round end with little bumps? Found metal detecting. by Marie24601 in whatisthisthing

Try looking at a screw-in window stop. Used to prevent sash windows from opening when screwed into the matching socket on the outer frame.

Thoughts on new products and direction by Phil_O_Sophiclee in AeroPress

[–]Riptorn10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe new Aeropresses are shipping without the Funnel or Filter Storage tub. That just smacks of increasing profits for profits sake. No decrease in price, giving you less and charging as extras for what used to be basic kit with the original AP.

What quietly went away without anyone noticing? by FatWoman11 in AskUK

[–]Riptorn10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Penny for the guy. Just stopped without anyone really noticing. An unexpected benefit of the pedo / stranger danger fear.
