A nutter was caught breaking into one of the hotels being used for 14 day quarantining of returned o/seas travellers. He was caught after entering via a lift-shaft at 3 am.

I remember at the end of the war seeing all these News films in the cinema and hearing promises that they must be shown repeatedly forever!
Most of it makes harrowing viewing of course and it often has me thinking of what would it have been like if Hitler had succeeded in crossing the Channel?
I wonder if any author has written anything about such an event?
Now of course, things are vastly different!
Michael P’s recent repeat involved Germany’s railway system and the re-building of historic towns.
It was all so futile and sad.
Must go!
Good Health
