6th sense with topics
« on: Monday 23 February 15 14:21 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone else get a sense when reading new topic titles what era they are going to be from?

A lot of the time just reading the name (obviously this is topics that have no date in the title  ;D ) leads me to suspect they are going to be 1600's or 1700's and invariably this is the case.

Anyone else find that?

Millie,

No I'm sorry I usually have little clue of what is in a topic at times, never mind what era it relates to. It would be really handy if I did though :)

The ones that say "please date this pretty lady" or "a date for this nurse please" always sound like an online dating service to me.

And I'm never quite sure what exactly is required when a topic is entitled "Please help with burial"  ;D  but I get the spade out ready.
