The Stay Safe Board / Re: Diary summary week ending 22nd June 2025

I don't think I'm dead yet ;D  The good quality clothes  I recently sent to a local charity shop are certainly not “dead women’s clothes.”  Since a number of bad falls has left me housebound I know I will never be able to wear them, quite a few were brand new and still had the price tickets on them, this included obviously unworn shoes.

It's not uncommon to find brand new clothes in our charity shops.

It would help if you gave his name and age, also his number if you know it.

If you are not already aware the letters L and S are  often miss transcribed, especially in census transcriptions. It is not unusual for someone to think they have found a Lawyer in their family only to discover later he was Sawyer.

I had no idea who she was but I really enjoyed the Diane Morgan  episode.  It was good to see something rather different to those of some of the big names. She seemed genuinely interested, particularly with the connection to Germany. So many people seem to be unaware that there was a lot of crossing the channel for work in both directions  long before WW1

 I also liked Diane's determination to return the Death Penny to a member of his family and how much it was appreciated. I always think it so sad when you see people selling their family military  medals and other articles just because they didn't know them personally.

The angle has distorted it but it looks like a Regimental badge, his tie also looks like a Regimental tie.

There is a lot of information regarding car taxation if you Google it in  Wikipedia

Good to see you back Viktoria,  you were missed. Glad you enjoyed your time with the little ones, they grow so fast you miss such a lot when you are separated by distance.
