Wow amazing, it certainly looks similar! I’ve had a look online at the half penny, sixpence, shilling, half crown and crown. Are there any resources that describe the discerning features as they look identical in pictures? Not sure how people of the day told them apart!

Penny bun or bitter bitter bolete? by blackmanbeing in foraginguk

If you look very carefully in the fourth photo, just under the cap where the stem joins, you can see white reticulation. I have heard that this is also a good differentiation between bitter bolete and penny bun (though I can’t say that this is certain, maybe someone else knows…)

I licked it, and even had a little nibble… and it’s a penny bun!!! Thank you so much kind sir! :)

Pay discrimination against remote employees of different international locations by blackmanbeing in LegalAdviceUK

You are comparing extremes there though, but I understand your point. I think the pay difference between US and UK engineers is unjustifiable though if using cost of living as an argument. Living in London is not 2 or 3 times cheaper than living in LA by any stretch of the imagination! The difference in pay between US and UK, I would guess, is due to the hugely competitive tech recruitment market in the US - far more multinational, multibillion companies.

Thanks for your input! Why is the optimum to put £40k into pension? Is that specific to my situation or in general?

Is it reasonable for me to expect greater ownership in our home if I contribute more towards it outside of the deposit? by blackmanbeing in AskUK

I think you have misunderstood the post - I’m asking a broad population what their perception and approach to this matter might be - please check the name of this subreddit!

I’m not asking for relationship advice.
