I enlarged it to 300%, but it1s difficult to read.

Is it Llanidloes?

You might be able to get help if this was on the Armed Forces board.

One of the moderators might be able to move the thread.

I did find the "Kemp" episode more interesting than I had anticipated.

Not one of my favourites but I guess it depends what subjects you are interested in.  The US history part I enjoyed.

I agree, but it "is" made to look easy, when we all know how difficult it can be. I can`t remember an episode where someone has said just how many hours it took(takes) to find a record.

I`ve spent all day on occasion at the archives only to leave without finding any success.

Mishal was a breath of fresh air not saying "wow"  ( or even worse wowsers) once ! Jerry Hall springs to mind!!

That is because you are the wrong generation.  ;D ;D

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Garfield

I`ve always thought of myself as a baby boomer ! according to some sources I belong to the Silent Generation 1928 to 1945 (year of my birth) .

Apparently my husband knows "exactly"  who Andrew Garfield "is". As he`s  a few years younger than me this maybe puts him in the "right"  generation ! :)

Thanks. I`m looking forward to this new series, but have to say I`ve no idea who Andrew Garfield "is" !!
