Going to a memorial service today? Help update the national record of your war memorial.
Since 1989, the War Memorials Archive has been trying to keep an up-to-date database for everybody to read, showing the location of every war memorial in the UK as well of details of the dead commemorated there.

If you add this subreddit to a multireddit, make sure that multireddit is private!

Hi, /r/The_Haven. I've had a disagreement with our member /u/NOT_MEEHAN and wanted to get clarification from the community about the interpretation of Rule 2. It all started when I mentioned /r/The_Haven in this thread in the MegaMegaLounge, and /u/NOT_MEEHAN replied to say that I shouldn't.

Review of Samsung Charger Pad
This review originally appeared on Amazon. See more reviews by Dan. Samsung Charger Pad for Samsung Galaxy S5 - Black Rating: ⭐⭐ Works, but only with a little fiddling.

Review of 4 Way 13A Switched Adaptor
This review originally appeared on Amazon. See more reviews by Dan. 4 Way 13A Switched Adaptor with Surge Protection - White Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall good, but not suitable for every space
