@GossiTheDog
"Mrs Webb told the BBC in 2020 that she had "never heard of Bletchley", Britain's wartime code-breaking centre, before starting work there as a member of the ATS, the Auxiliary Territorial Service."Not gonna lie. I read the first half of that sentence and thought, "Still keeping the secret after 80 years! Good for her."
There's been some excellent film and TV made about Bletchley Park

@tealeg I'm pretty close to giving up on X and maybe also Mastodon. (-:

@shriramk that's a message with mixed blessings!
At the rate this presidency is going, Mastodon might be the only social network we Euro types can viably use. :-/
