@kovesi1 @GrahamWatson73 right next to the archetype of all sterotypes for "can he make it into another world? George Best, the most beautiful footballer there ever was

@LeedsTours @GenealogyBeech Another mystery: from Pontefract, my mother parked on the open ground and we ate sandwiches in 1964(?) but it is still a car park!

@nickystubbs91 Worth it to put Barnsley on the map. Well it is, but more on the map!

@vjc_torianist Remember you risk repeating stereotypes ie quack meaning anything not "conventional" and NHS.

@GWMReynolds A word search on the specific words and the same names in the Northern Star looking for other instances? Big fear of the Irish/Chartism connection in 1848, but look at Jones at the meetings before Kennington - strong language. Blasphemy could be only spoken qv Holyoake

@dnhamilton Have you looked for the same first letter in the same document - might give you the clue as yo what it is? I can't see the k in hawker. Could be something in stables.

@LeedsTours Brand was born in 1975. So not 60s counter-culture libertinism

@VictorianMasc Are you being patronising? What actually is your point?

@SbonesTompaine Interviews in 1850 London, but people describe their reduced circumstances compared to 1820.

@vjc_torianist @WarwickHistory Fabulous news. Well done - Malcolm would be very proud of you.

[Alison Denham @AlisonDenham3]

@Sami_Historian Hi Sam, Writing left-handed OK, but tennis was my downfall - 1960-1966 -failing because I had/have a squint and don't judge distances well, but also looking away as anything was demonstrated in tennis.

@markcrail Abney Park have some very good volunteers. Don't recall names, but went to excellent presentation. They are trying to identify/flag up everyone! So, you could email their office. Have fun.

@vjc_torianist @19thCPolAction @katrinanavickas Yes. Organisation was fabulous. I clicked in and out , in and out repeatedly, online successfully. Your pie charts must have taken forever to do!

[Alison Denham @AlisonDenham3]

@markcrail @katrinanavickas Actually not just a conspiracy theory. Card payments mean you can be tracked, and you must have a bank card to pay for parking. Would Harney like this?

[Alison Denham @AlisonDenham3]

@fatbadger442 I just cannot believe how this can be legal. My mother made my domestic science apron -couldn't be worn as wrong checks, so a second had to be made. That was 1962-ish. How can this still be happening?

[Alison Denham @AlisonDenham3]

@Sami_Historian So how much travel of ideas and people between US and Britain. My interest on non-resistance took me into this literature. Must order!

[Alison Denham @AlisonDenham3]

@vjc_torianist And you got there!
