Well done again! You're on a roll.

Absolutely amazing! And to think it was moved brick by brick from its original home in North Wales.

MIKE,
I am naive in this area, after a brief search at Wikipedia, I find substantial 'grey areas' in the various legal definitions in relation to the Child/Adult boundaries.
As it should be. We don't suddenly become adult overnight

For those of you with sharper minds and who can cope with definitional contradictions,
do I have to be an ADULT to be an ADULTERER?
If so, what is the definition of an ADULT in our United Kingdom please?
There isn't one single definition of when a child becomes an adult, but I suppose you already know that.

Andrew C, that sounds sense. Someone in the checkout queue behind me one day said something, and I found myself immediately asking "What part of Canada do you come from?" and she was so delighted at not being taken for an American that we started chatting - and found she had relatives that came from the same area (Cumberland as was) that my ancestry came from!
Tiny world, indeed.
TY
I was once told that it is very difficult to tell the difference between an American and a Canadian, but the quickest way was to tell that to a Canadian.

The blanket prescribing of Statins has been quoted as a cause of Dementia and Alzheimers’ .


Just the opposite. Research shows that statins reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by about 30% and vascular dementia by about 7%.

As well as being unfailingly helpful, he was always kind and considerate.
