Really interesting listen thanks. That must be your longest one yet? Also, I didn't quite get your comments about the draft - it was changed in '69 rather than introduced then I think.

Out of interest, how much work would it take to do another Parliament/ Assembly, provided you have a list of names and photos?

Oh I can't think of these without recalling that Peep Show episode where Mark goes on one and realises that his new friend is a massive racist...

Is there a Midlands Historical Society, or a northern one? If so are there any gaps or duplications?

The Abbey Road reference made me recall a time when someone, I think it was you, tried to work out how many people had gone to the DLR station when they meant to go to the recording studio and used an FOI to find out how many journeys there had been from Abbey Road to Maida Vale tube.

Watching the athletics on the BBC and as it is in Silesia this has reminded me of this book.

I passed my test at 19, spent several happy years driving but then went two decades not driving. So before driving again I booked a refresher course with a local driving instructor. It was really useful and there are various advanced driving options if you are interested.

I think you have to look to Australia for a Welsh born PM - Julia Gillard, born in Barry in 1961 and PM 2010-13.
