I can have a look in the online British Newspaper Archive, but I'd need some names to search.

Apparently Joyce was an admirer of the Soviet Union after embarking on one of the tours provided by Stalin to certain westerners in the early 1930's. She wrote about her experiences in the press which were contested....this letter was published in 1934.

A report from The Aberdeen Express.

Disingenuous might be a better word.

Are you looking at the 1861 census for Hezekiah Kelsey?...if so and you are looking at the box at the side of 'Kelseys Houses, Wentworth Street' I think it is a number 1, denoting 1 inhabited house. If it said 1b it would indicate 1 house being built....if I remember rightly. Just to add to that Edwin Kelsey had a son called Ellis, you won't find the boy on the census as he died in 1879 at the age of 1yr 5 months.

The chances of that being caught must be similar odds to winning the lottery!!

Not really concerning the City if you read the whole article "But many believe that the lack of an equivalence deal could in fact help the City appeal to more global destinations, including Hong Kong and Singapore. Barclays boss Jes Staley last week said that a more global outlook would do the City well. Rosenblatt Securities market structure analyst Anish Puaar told the FT: “It’s symbolic in that London has lost its status as the home of EU share trading, but it has a chance to carve out its own niche on trading. “Fund managers will be more concerned with availability of liquidity and the costs of placing a trade, rather than whether an order is executed in London or Amsterdam.”

Cant help on the query, but you may be interested in this from 1901. Just had a quick delve.. William Anson was born in Blythe, Notts in 1833...in 1871 a hairdresser by profession living at No 4 Stanley Street...by 1881 he was still on Stanley Street but now listed as an Umbrella maker. He took a lease on premises in 1883 at 21 The Wicker and was still at that address in the 1930's.

Wine Lodges had a reputation for being haunts of the harder drinkers...rather than trendy wine bars.

I'm pretty sure it will never become a contested contract dispute. Although it's made little news here it's been a hot topic in the European press since midsummer. UK contracted with AZ back in June...signed and paid, four European countries including Germany were set to do the same until the Commission asked them to desist and throw their lot in with the EU's common procurement programme, which they did. They started to voice concerns when the Commission had not signed any deal by August, the Commission being criticised openly for spending time negotiating lower prices and specifying production sites on EU soil rather than just ordering vaccine. Apologies but I cant find the link from the German press, but it basically said that in mid August they requested x millions of vaccine and were told by AZ that they could not contract to do it, largely because the EU specified site in Belgium had filtration issues that led to low yields, leaving the Commission with no contract to demonstrate, Stella Kyriakides then asked for the term "best efforts" to be inserted so that AZ could sign...no guarantee...but best efforts. Had AZ managed to up production in Belgium, or Pfizer/Biontech exceeded theirs no one would have been the wiser. The criticism of the Commission though goes deeper, when they signed the initial Pfizer/Biontech contract for 200m doses they were offered an option for an extra 300m, which for some incredible reason they turned down. What is noticeable is that no leader of any of the EU27 has come forward to make the Commission's case over the contract. Der Spiegel ran this headline yesterday....unfortunately it's paywalled but does look interesting.

Hi HoS...pleased you've got your head around it...links below may well be of interest. http://www.witness.group.shef.ac.uk/interview-edward-patnick/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confessions-Junk-Dealer-Edward-Patnick/dp/1907998136 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://kehillatkernow.com/newsletter/Kol-Kehillat-Kernow-09-08.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiJ5cqgk6buAhUkQkEAHT0XBX04KBAWMAl6BAgCEAE&usg=AOvVaw0JA19Nggt72oicDcK57n8_ If you're interested in finding out what happened to them afterwards... you have a good chance through Ancestry. I've had a look and there are a few people with Lapatnick/Patnik's in their tree, UK, USA and Australia. ..some of them have information on the family prior to coming to the UK....the only snag being that most of the tree owners haven't been on since early last year. Unfortunately I dont have the international subscription required to view the records. You could also try FB...I think this lady in the US was married to Leonard Lapatnick, descended from Hyman Michael. https://m.facebook.com/lapatnick

Seem to be going during WW1, in 1926 they were based at Queens Road. Between 1881 and 1911 there is a Thomas Wales, Joinery tools manufacturer at 4 Talbot Crescent....with sons John and Albert Wales having the same trade.

Rules are rules as you say....it obviously hasn't sunk in in Germany though. "Numbers provided to German newspaper Handelsblatt by the country’s economics ministry show the country’s government is subject to 74 infringement proceedings by the European Commission for failing to implement EU regulations properly in German law. German Green party politician Markus Tressel told the newspaper Germany was now “bottom of the class” for following EU rules and far from the “model pupil” it was sometimes portrayed as. The infringements against Germany, which can be started for delayed implementation or inadequate conversion into national laws, relate to policy areas like air pollution, water quality and fire protection. The new statistics echo the latest available EU-wide figures on enforcement actions from the end of 2016, provided by the European Commission, which found Germany joint top with Spain. Those countries were followed closely by Belgium, Greece, Portugal and France – all longstanding fans of the European project." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/angela-merkel-germany-breaks-more-eu-rules-worst-bottom-class-a8198271.html

Thanks....this should be interesting. It appears to have been syndicated in the US papers, unfortunately I don't have the international subscription to view them.

Hillsbro....could I ask what you are using to post the pics?.... as my photobucket account doesn't seem to work anymore, and I've turned up a good piece I'd like to post.

The beet sugar situation is a farce, France is the largest producer of SB, and traditionally the price has been kept high....this has been whittled away over recent years so is not as attractive as a crop as it once once. Environmentally it is one of the worst crops there is for soil damage, It would be better for us to shut beet down and shift to less damaging crops.

Aaron Lapatnick appears to have been a good student, he was awarded a grant for school tuition at The Sheffield Central School in September 1908, his previous school was the Bow St, Mixed School.

If referenda are such a poor tool why do other European countries have them for joining the EU or ratifying treaties?...whilst I agree about cheating and lying both sides were guilty, as to Aaron Banks the police found no case to answer. Remainers...The Lib Dems and the 'Better Together campaign were both fined for electoral irregularities.

Boris father is a Remainer.

Financial Services are under no serious threat, Indy and Guardian were predicting 100-200,000 job losses in London, in actual fact around 6000 have moved, many of those German ex-pats returning home according to Der Spiegel, those jobs in the UK have already been replaced, London employing more now than in 2016. https://www.cityam.com/london-retains-finance-jobs-as-brexit-fails-to-deliver-blow-to-the-city/

The Irish fishermen are saying they've been sold out. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/irish-fishing-communities-will-be-disappointed-by-brexit-deal-taoiseach-says-1.4445321

If they do it's good....but the fact remains that it's a mature market, if Carrefour buy them from another source the original suppliers produce goes unsold, where do they sell them? Absolutement.

Not really a lot...Norway produces 1.2 million tonnes.

I doubt much is from Ireland, they only produce 19,000 tons a year for the whole of the world's market. Scotland sells more than that to the USA.

Of course it is....it's not like the old Castle Market where stuff is bought and sold on the spot, it's bought by forward contract years in advance.
