Due to the advancement of technology, many skills have disappeared. For example, only 50 years ago switchboard operators were common, but today this job has disappeared. This is not the only example, there are many and there will be many more.
Gold beating is still practiced: many gold beaters today rely on machines to prepare the gold, leaving just the creation of leaves to be done by hand. While this is a cost-saving, it doesn’t produce the same high-quality gold leaves as completing the entire process by hand.
The skill of manually striking gold to create gold leaves...

Officers were contacted just before 11.15pm on Wednesday 3 May to reports of a break in at a phone store on Exeter High Street.
Investigation officer DI Guy Biggar said: “We are currently investigating a high value burglary which happened in the 3G Ltd store in the City Centre. Four men in balaclavas were reported to have fled the scene in a black car with a large quantity of equipment, believed to be worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Exeter City have performed above expectations in their first campaign in League One since 2012. Even after losing manager Matt Taylor during the season, Gary Caldwell’s men survived relegation comfortably with several games to spare, which is just as well after they ran into a gauntlet of top sides at the end of the campaign. The club can now look to next season to build on their consolidation, but the odds will be stacked against them in their bid to remain in the third tier. There are offers available to back Exeter and avoid the drop, or even for ambitious fans to back their side to...
