To combat both a rising cost and to help tackle the Climate Emergency, Sefton Council will now look to install…

On the basis of detection by contacts, the sensor usually moves an actuator, which changes the electric circuit’s state. And what does this movement signals? It shows that the pre-set limit is reached. As these limit switches detect the pre-set limits automatically, it eliminates the requirement for human workers to…

Harry Howorth celebrated his 100th birthday last week with a small afternoon garden party outside his apartment attended by many of his neighbours and friends. A signaller in the Shropshire Light Infantry, Harry survived the D Day landing, despite nearly drowning when pitched into sea after his landing craft was knocked sideways by the currant on Sward Beach. Because of the weight of his standard equipment plus the radio and batteries he could not swim and would have drowned but was rescued by another soldier, whose name he never learned, who dived back from the beach.

When it comes to the European Championships, every team wants to get off to the best possible start in the group stage, and if you can advance to the knockout stage as winners of the group, all the better. However, historical data shows that, since a group stage was introduced to the final tournament in 1980, only 50% of the tournament winners have lifted the trophy after winning their group. In a competition where momentum is so important, it’s perhaps surprising that only five of the winners since 1980 have been the top team in their respective group. Of course,…
Even the most ardent Southport FC fans can’t picture the Sandgrounders making it to the Premier League and upsetting the odds to beat the likes of Man City and Man United.
