Bletchley Park funding
I heard on the radio today, and read at BoingBoing that Bletchley Park has a serious funding crisis, and, to put it crudely, is falling to bits. The government have been asked to improve their funding of it, given its historical importance. There is also a petition to Parliament.
I hope that Bletchley keeps going, I have not been but would love to go one day. My Granny Pip worked there during the war, presumably down to her excellent crossword skills that remained with her throughout her life. I'd love to get some sort of idea into what she, and others, did there. By coincidence, many years later in Sheffield, I ended up doing some work for Bletchley Park Trust because they used the solicitors I was temping at. Nothing more than typing up letters and colouring in plans, but I liked the connection with my granny.
Cory Doctorow (who took the photo above) of BoingBoing visited Bletchley recently and wrote a great post about it.
