I still enjoy the random things social media has me wondering about. E.g. was Dizzee serious when he asked if there was a 1st Class on the Mersey Ferry….

I presume that the daughters had had property/income settled on them at marriage or that they were considered their husbands responsibility to support?

I should have known that! I didn’t recognise the angle

Is it V&A east?

E-books enable my dyslexic daughter to read for extended periods, by changing the font. they improve accessibility in so many ways.

Mine are usually, but somehow this one slipped through. I’ve learnt a lesson!

It’s like saying “Mr Epstein has considerable experience of child abuse and trafficking, making him the perfect contributor to our discussion on safeguarding.

I’ve had similar mad responses to a complaint to the BBC recently.

I think they will have given money for the building of the cathedral in memory of a relative. I think the cathedral fundraises quite widely as they had a lot to raise? There is an archivist at the cathedral so it might be worth asking him.

Did it make up reference numbers?

Is it my authority in archival preservation or emojis that you perceive I have dubious authority on?

Sounds useful but based on decades of experience dealing with paper based records that clearly have been indexed, I can guarantee people won’t either maintain or preserve the file containing the key.

New best practice:
Never use an emoji in a filename.
Avoid file managers that allow them.

And they are a nightmare when preserving the files! (from experience with newsletters with emoji in the subject line).
