August 7 1985
« on: May 23, 2012, 08:26:PM »
In the (rather large) book entitled "Chronicle of the 20th Century"  there is an entry for the 7 August which reads as follows:

Journalists make news by striking

Radio and television journalists went on strike today in protest against the banning of "Real Lives", a programme about Republican and Protestant extremists in Northern Ireland, by the BBC after government pressure. The BBC's Worls Service was off the air for the first time ever.

Hi There

Good evening Patti.

You're not wrong there! It's a brilliant book though.

I decided to spring clean my book case. BIG mistake. I'm spending more time looking through them than sorting them out.....!!

Hi Blodwynflower, I can't find it, I think it is underneath all the junk in cupboard above the stairs. It's one of those cupboards that sends one or two suit cases flying on your head...:)  I know it's not on the bookcase, because it is too big.  I'm the same with books, I hardly read them, but use them for reference ...but I have a few of late and in the middle of CC'S book....:)
