@why_not_nemo @NukitToBeSure You put the UV lights above “egg crate” ceilings like this (but black so minimal UV light reflects through).

I don’t know… if I’d been Mr Lewis’ publicist, I’d have been tempted just to go with ‘his wife’.

Unless of course he was actually married eight times.

Being the most British clergyman (and proto-academic) ever, John doesn't abandon his History of Northumberland. He's sitting on evidence that will change a key part of British history, but nope! Out of scope.
