Jesus misjudged the situation also, and got crucified for it. 

sold them about about 2 weeks ago + some krugs for a house purchase.
Just checked, I paid £33,328 in Sept 2017 for my Baird bar which are now £50,698.

No regrets selling the bars at all, you cant time the markets.
I set myself targets and goals and stick to the plan, served me well to date enabling me to pay off my current house early and buy my next one for cash.  Still made 40% on what I sold and  have around 100oz gold left + a few thousand ozs of silver
 
Also the current short period of stamp duty/LTT holiday offsets some of the differential in the mid and longer term.

Here is what I am seeing/thinking on/crystal ballin on the silver/gold situation.
There are some early signs of inflation in the commodities, keep an eye on oil and gas and agri/potash, latest results are strong in potash, these are the first signs of inflation. It's coming, it just takes time to manifest further down the line. Consumer price inflation is maybe 12 months away, gold and silver anticipate this and also reflect falling dollar (reduced monetary value of dollar). 
The concern for buying silver in particular now is if dxy turns around. Dollar monetary value increases and inflation fails to materialise. Seems crazy now with dollar being printed into oblivion, but watch out for it, gold and silver will enter a downtrend when that happens for as long as dollar strengthens, could be a few months worth of declines. Inflation will be dampened during that period. These things will coincide, before we resume the trend, enter CPI inflationary period and hard times come for the consumer.
But who knows. 

I like looking back at 2008-2011 and looking what happened
Dollar blue | silver red (they're scaled to themselves, not as a % to one another)
You can see most of 2010 the dollar was rising, it did stall silver but didn't devastate it
They then rose together late 2010, dollar fell off again and silver went to the moon
I think as long as the dollar doesn't break back above 94 in the next two weeks we're fairly safe it's going to continue sinking

This is exactly when you should take a long term sell position on gold
A trend line forms, look at 2008 it lasted 4 years and when it finally fell out of that trend it bounced, retested it got rejected and then fell and started a 3 year downtrend
Exactly the same will happen with the bull run now, at some point it will fall out of the trend, retest it, get rejected and then and only then would be the time to take a sell position
Doing it before then makes no sense at all, it's fine to guess what will happen but you can't take action on it until you get confirmation
Could be 2022-2024 would be my best guess but the charts will confirm it eventually, then I will take a sell position 

 

This has already been said but I will say it again - If the conditions arrive in this reality that government are coming to your address for your £2500 of gold that will be the least of your problems.... because you will have also lost your boat in an unfortunate accident. Such a sad story. 
Honestly there isn't an issue here. Buy the gold with ID, pay with debit card whatever, get it delivered - once your currency is parted for the gold, the gold is 'gone' from the system. No one knows what you did with it, there are no digital records of where you hid/spent/melted your gold. You could have used it to pay for goods and services, settled gambling debts, buried it and forgotten where you put it, etc. This is a non issue. A total non issue. Just buy your gold like everyone else. And if/when the time comes that they confiscate it.... annnnd its gone!
