That's sort of spooky.... Just last night I was speaking to someone about Bletchley Park and the work that went on during the war - mostly with relation to the computer there (which Churchill had destroyed after the war! Grrr)- It has been a long term interest to me and I have studied a number of books about it, the people who worked there and the work undertaken there.
I have, of course, signed the petition, and will pass it on.

The Bletchley Park Trust receives no external funding. It has been deemed ineligible for funding by the National Lottery, and turned down by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Please do not allow this crucial piece of both British and World culture to disappear. If ever an example were needed of Britain leading the world, this surely would be it. To allow it to fall into the hands of developers would be simply unconscionable. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
