We must form a club, 😀 btw Hilary Mantel painted a very bad picture of Thomas More, he was quite evil according to what I read in Wolf HallSomehow my reply to this became mixed up with my reply to Mups - and, no, it wasn't a Pimms moment!
Quote from: Silver Tabby on July 07, 2026, 06:40:47 PMPeople said 'evil' about Thomas Cromwell as well. Hilary Mantel has a reputation as a good researcher, but who can really tell at this distance in time. The Tudors were a questionable lot at best. A lot of written documents have survived, but how much credence can be given to them? The people who wrote them could only give their own perspective and that may have been governed by fear of what would happen to them if they fell into the wrong hands. Wasn't it Thomas More who began the rumour the Richard III was a hunchback?Ahhh I hadn't read that about Richard 111, I must get hold of a copy of A Manf for all Seasons, I have a preference physical books.

Maybe you would have better luck if your vets supplied hearing aids for you - your local NHS seem inefficient to say the least.
