Bold Street in Liverpool is known for long‑standing claims of time slip experiences, most notably an account recorded by paranormal investigator Tom Slemen involving a man referred to as Frank who believed he briefly witnessed the street as it appeared in the 1950s. Additional anecdotes and public comments suggest similar experiences over the decades. The street’s unusual reputation is linked by some to an extensive network of underground structures, including a historic well excavated in 2001 and now visible at Jeff’s.

A comparison of brown sauces from Aldi, Asda, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer found Aldi’s 99p Bramwells sauce to offer the best flavour and value, outperforming the more expensive HP standard. HP remained well regarded, while Asda’s offering had decent flavour but poor consistency. M&S delivered an unexpected gravy-like taste, and Waitrose lacked flavour entirely, placing last in the ranking.

Adding mulch to the soil around Japanese maples in July helps retain moisture, preventing early leaf drop and maintaining vibrant red foliage. Deep, infrequent watering combined with organic mulches such as pine bark, wood chips, compost or leaf mould protects roots from heat and prevents weeds. Nitrogen-rich mulches like cow manure should be avoided. Keeping mulch away from the trunk and watering thoroughly once a week supports healthy growth through hot weather.
