What is a silver lining on a cloud as referred to in the saying?
Question
Clouds have many bright shades but a silver one? Where does this saying come from and why silver?
Answer
It comes from the fact that if it is just a single cloud and the sun is streaming behind it, the edges of the cloud glow bright grey, kinda silvery. So it's connected in that if the cloud passes then the sun is going to come out and it'll be sunny, just like if a trouble in your life (the cloud) passes then the sun is always there behind it and it'll eventually shine through and something nice will happen.
What is the best way to clean silver?
Question
Any old fashioned remedies on cleaning silver? Silver cloths and silver dip are expensive and the old fashioned remedies always seem to be best! This is aimed at jewellery, not large objects.
Answer
You can clean silver with regular old toothpaste.
Just wet a rag, squirt some toothpaste on it, and rub the silver gently with this. Then rinse under running water.
Any toothpaste works as long as it's not the gel type. You want the old-fashioned white toothpaste.
Toothpaste works...and it's cheap and non-toxic.

What are morrisons disney silver card and do they give you an extra chance if winning?
Question
I have a disney silver card and i am not sure what to do with it?
Can i please have a little help?
thank-you.
Answer
Morrisons have started this Disney card giveout for two reasons:
Firstly, they bring customers in as they have a chance of winning a holiday to Disneyland Paris.
Secondly, the cards can also be used by children to play a game which sort of resembles the card game "Top Trumps" where they compete for the opponents cards until your opponent has none left.
Silver cards are just a rare card that gives you a better chance of wining in the game, it therefore has no prize or anything such as that attached to it sadly. I'm not sure on how it gives you an advantage in the game but it does as i've asked them when in-store myself.
