I have looked at Rodgers, Magnay and Barter, none of which seem to indicate what the orientation of any of the Model Penny types should be so I checked all my brass inserts and they are all inverted, however the silver inserts seem to be all over the place with 0 degrees, 180 degrees and almost every position in between

True, outlook sunny in London tomorrow

Signed in as usual, takes you to a page to fill out, at the end asks for payment, doesn't say any amount or what it is for, seems the page you have just filled out is an application to join, but to join what?, it doesn't tell you. Unless you have been following this thread or know the recent history it is totally confusing, still. I put my mobile number on the form, that will be an interesting conversation should someone call me tomorrow.

CGS IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF RESTRUCTURING NORMAL SERVICES WILL RESUME Above is the response from CGS Site, the third line is worrying, I would have hoped for improvement!

Thought Rylan was going to score for France, one on one earlier, defender did well Think the man behind the goal gave the Penalty, Ref pointed in his direction when giving the decision

First Goal 20 mins, in case anyone else goes with the same score line

Wales 2 Portugal 1

Thankyou all, a Historic victory for Wales last night and a sore head for me this morning

Thankyou Chaps, Have a nice bottle of Johnnie Walker Double black label to help comfort me through the ageing process, and to celebrate Wales victory tonight over the Belgians

With impending elections for a number of Northern European countries coming within the next 6 months, France and Germany notably, it would send a clear message to any opposition of the EU if they are seen to play hard ball with the UK, to try and stop any support for similar thoughts of exit by other member states. The longer Article 50 is not activated, the closer these Elections get, that I would think is their greatest fear, especially with most of the World Markets, including the UK recovering to pre Brexit levels, with the notable exception of some EU states

Iceland are better than the pundits think, almost won their group, scoring good goals, not free kicks or penalties, and conceding few, could be another Denmark year,

Not the result the establishment wanted, if more than 17 million sign I think it should be considered

That was the reform Treaty, or Lisbon Treaty, of which Article 50 is part

Our Rebate on EU payments runs out in three years time, and most of the EU grants taken by British based companies have been relocation grants to Countries were Jobs are needed in Europe to quote a only few as the list is extensive Cadbury moved factory to Poland 2011 with EU grant. Ford Transit moved to Turkey 2013 with EU grant. Jaguar Land Rover has recently agreed to build a new plant in Slovakia with EU grant, owned by Tata, the same company who have trashed our steel works and emptied the workers pension funds. Peugeot closed its Ryton (was Rootes Group) plant and moved production to Slovakia with EU grant. British Army's new Ajax fighting vehicles to be built in SPAIN using SWEDISH steel at the request of the EU to support jobs in Spain with EU grant, rather than Wales. Money required by the NHS was quoted as £8 Billion over the next Parliament, that was ring fenced in the last Budget The immigrant staff that used to support the NHS were mostly from Caribbean and Asian countries, now they need a visa. Looking back over the last coalition Parliament, both Cameron and Osborne talked extensively about the EU and the need for reform, and that we would not pay £1.7 billion demanded as a contribution to balance the EU books, we paid it anyway. The Conservative manifesto promised a referendum, and Cameron said he would go the EU with a list of demands and come home with reform, he did just that but fell well short of his promises, but now he endorses the EU although he is in the same position as before the promised referendum, he campaign for Parliament as it being a bad thing, yet now campaigns that it isn't and that we should stay Lots of huffing and puffing on both sides, think it will be a close run result

Combined with the comments from France and Germany EU members, Osborne saying he will raise taxes 2% if we vote leave are truly signs of desperation, Very poor campaigning by the Remain party in my view, if Economic doom and gloom wont influence the voters then threaten them, why not simply address the issues the voters have and provide them the answers to the questions, every debate I have watched, the answer to every single question ends with the Remain talking about the effect on the Economy, totally avoiding the point and question asked I cant see what positives came from Bob Geldof in a Million pound yacht full of posh totty and chinless wonders taking the P out of Farage and the Fishermen campaigning for their livelihoods.

On the News today, another of those Great British Companies, Microsoft, has highlighted the doom and gloom that 'could' befall us economically if we do leave, echoing the thoughts of those other major UK Brands, namely Audi, BMW, Starbucks,.. I feel their campaign would have more weight if an actual UK business or two were shown to side with the stay Campaign I would still like to see an reasoned argument for staying, I have been bombarded with lots of economical figures and reasons that are not actually fact, and very little else

Unfortunately not, we can not vote for EU Council members or Presidents We can elect our own UK representatives, but as Nigel Farage said last week, of 72 proposals voted against last year by our own elected members, all 72 proposals were pushed through by the EU, bit of a waste of time having any representation, chocolate teapot et al I saw Neil Kinnock adding his weight behind the Stay campaign, not surprisingly, he was pushed aside after failing to become Prime Minister, joined the EU Parliament and alongside his wife and son, and now all are Multi millionaires, I can't remember voting for any of them. I put a snippet up showing the cons of EU membership, hoped to see a Pro video, if there is one, to balance the discussion

I found this an interesting piece for discussion https://www.facebook.com/leaveeuofficial/videos/946139178817657/?pnref=story

I found several but none were like your medal reverse, reading through it seems to suggest local traders produced the commemorative medals for volunteers at the pageant, some are much rarer than others but I should think they would have records or maybe even an interest in the medal

Have you tried contacting the Preston Guild, it is still on going. http://www.preston.gov.uk/yourservices/events/preston-guild/guild-history/

Movement in Proof coin prices has taken a sudden hike over the last 6 months, could be the next collecting boom

I'll have to put together a montage of the different varieties of 5 found on Halfpennies, generally only the open and closed 5 varieties are described, Colin Cooke have described the various forms of 5 in the past, apart from CGS I don't think they are recorded in any reference material
