An infestation of bath Corgis seems a serious issue. Unfortunately the leaflet ends on a cliffhanger about what to do about them

The plague of Bath Corgis.

I just found a useful public information booklet. Presumably made by the government in the 10 year olds room.

Is that the book which claims they switched Olympic for Titanic?

I believe this is the link to log in: www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail?R=EDB...

It's page 3 of the 27th April 1942 edition I'm looking for, I believe there's an article and photo relating to a man named Glyn Harries.

Thanks in advance!

Don't suppose anyone on here has a Toronto library card? Looking to view an article from the Toronto Star in July 1942 but I can't access it...

A colourful pie chart with numerous segments. To the right are a list of countries with a number in brackets next to each name, indicating the number of entries in the corresponding segment of the pie chart.

Trip booked to Ypres in late March next year. I've got a few plans in mind, but I'm open to any recommendations. Let's have them - what should I see, where should I go?

A hardback copy of the book "Recording Scotland" by Oliver and Boyd "in association with THE PILGRIM TRUST". The cover features an illustration of St. Monarch Kirk.

Today's charity shop purchase was this rather lovely volume. Published in 1952 and featuring many illustrations of locations around Scotland. Worth paying a little more than I usually would have for a charity shop book.

Someone at work just commented that "the guy from Goodfellas" was Joe Pasquale and now that's all I can think about.

A selfie of me on a train. Behind me is an advertisement for the Surgeons Hall Museum in Edinburgh which features Elsie Inglis.
