Ewart has such a lovely cheerful attitude.  Anyone spending that amount of time driving in SE London and maintaining their sanity deserves a medal anyway

Nick,

What do you mean I did it for 8 years and never had a problem in fact that is one of the most relaxed areas I have ever driven in.  I still come down there every couple of weeks and love crossing the bridges into Battersea Wandsworth etc.  The worst is from Central London to the East End.  Brick Lane is awful as is the road through Poplar

I think the reason for my anxiety could be because I was born in SE London, lived there until I was 26, and have spent the last 37 years living outside of London.  On the rare occasions when I go back these days, so much has changed that sometimes I'm completely lost in the town of my birth

I know what you mean Nick.  When I passed my test I said the only place in England I didnt want to drive was London itself because of how it looked to an outsider yet within 24 hours there was I driving up the Embankment lol  I have to say I find rural driving more frightening than driving round the South Circular and the M25.  Hmm I must be going insane lol

Noticed on todays programme that it was said that during wars all forces personal made wills before leaving for the fighting and F & F looked for this for some info..........can I ask where we should look for these wills?

Sandie,

During WWI the wills tended to be written on scraps of paper and given to the Medical Orderly.  I doubt these would have been processed the same.  Missing todays program I cant help more than that

I loved the bit today when Jo explained that if people had their mothers maiden name as a middle name( as my grandad did) it could mean that they were well endowed

I'm still laughing at that one
