Funnily enough I've been having a binge on Auf Wedersien Pet the last few weeks. Am on the 4th series now.
Great theme tune, but laughable reading the Twitter comments quoted when someone says he / she is "shocked" by the news.... he was 83 for fucks sake

If you've never been to Bletchley Park it's a fascinating place and they do a fantastic job of giving you a sense of what it was like at the time.

Her husband went at beginning of August. I always find it sad when remaining partner goes quickly even though it might not be related. She had a long career and did much more than Nellie Boswell which she'll be remembered most for. RIP lady.
