Hi,
Long time lurker (over a year) but I wanted to contribute and so I signed up.
I am interested in gold and silver. I bought a few hundred pounds worth of antique silver a few years back when it was $11 an ounce - looks great and it is quite therapeutic when polishing it. I live just outside London but work in it. My wife is an astrophysicist and feminist and we are expecting our first child early next year.
