Top 40 Lost Positives
I ended up with so many lost positives that I could have compiled a small dictionary of them. There are certainly enough to use in a story. Jack Winter has already done that: “How I Met My Wife“, brought to my attention by Toby Manhire.

Ibet: Big guns Manchester City and Chelsea to show their firepower
