Live webchat with historian John Child - Weds 17 Oct 1-2pm

Excellent session. And John, I have done some teaching (though I've never been taught to teach) but never history.

You were at Cambridge in the 70's you say, you youngster - I was there 1966-69, interesting times, student uprisings going on all over the place (but not much in Cambridge!) plus my year was the last all-male intake at my college and the last to eat in Hall from the college's appalling, smelly pre-war kitchens! But the teaching was good

I look forward to trying yr course.

AJP Taylor! He once stood in front of two terraced houses and poured venom on the owner of one of them who had pebble dashed it. To this day I look at houses whose owners have ruined the original design of the property and think of him [and wonder how the owner of said pebble dashed monstrosity must have felt at the time]. Given that I saw that programme onehelluvalongtimeago he must have had quite an impact on me.
