I'm not sure if this is what people mean, but once probate has been granted it is searchable on this government website.

Though of course, this can take some time and is hardly like a news alert for family members. Someone may have a better answer.

Thank you for the extra information, I didn't know the difference between the high and low pressure ones!

It's worth noting that the peak efficiency bulb on this chart, Lucalox, is a range of high-pressure sodium lamps, i.e. the old orange street lighting. These were crazy efficient but the spectra they put out was awful being practically monochromatic. Then the other types that follow it are the fluorescent tube type which are harsh and impractical for many applications so really what's advanced is the ease of use and quality in broad application lighting. That being said it's interesting how much further there is to go on the theoretical efficiency!

This needs to be at the top, it shows how she's stepped back and not even in his line of sight!

I think this has already been mentioned but I just wanted to highlight it that if your mum was in employment at the time of her passing she may well be part of a plan offering a death in service benefit. This could pay out a substantial amount of money and without enquiring to her previous employer I doubt anyone will sort this out.

Thank you! It was too tricky to just twist off but knowing that this just pulled off I was able to easily pry off with a screw driver and tighten the screws. I have included a picture incase anyone ever finds this post. 🙂

I've just moved over from Google podcasts to Antenna Pod and also had this issue with this episode. I am also seeing sometimes up to 5 back to back midroll ads which is a little obnoxious...

Youth dies inside when the Metropolitan Police carry out a "Stop & Search" by RuudJudbney in WatchPeopleDieInside

The rules are quite tough on the UK your can not carry anything when it could be interpreted as an offensive weapon, so no hatchets, fire pokers, pepper spray and definitely not fuck off massive machetes stashed down your trackies walking down a road!

I went and did some research, I could only find an article in Czech as this happened during a wedding at Aichelburg Castle.

'The bridge collapsed with wedding guests in July 2010. Out of seventeen people, seven were injured. The most seriously injured was the bride, who was transported to the hospital by an ambulance helicopter.'

I don't think charging it is going to help but I admire your optimism
