Seamless upgrade?

Thanks to the WordPress team for providing a system which allows seamless upgrades!

With a little preparation & planning regards plugin compatibility (and installation of a second backup tool!), I have seamlessly upgraded to the latest version, with no (currently) visible side-effects.

Please let me know if you spot any quirks of behaviour I’ve missed..

British Pathé

There are probably few of you reading this who remember watching British Pathé newsreels at the cinema (no, I don’t either!). In an age before television, they fed people news from around the country, and the world. This means became very important during World War II.

Well, why not see for yourself at the British Pathe website. It’s full of newsreels you can watch for free.

I searched for “Kent”, and found quite a few. Some showed families harvesting hops, another showed a ploughing match. A third showed the first electric train to Margate, the  Kent Coast Special Southern Electric, which has this wonderful closing line…

“It’s so quick, harassed mothers in London will soon be telling their children after tea, ‘Go down to Margate and play on the sands till bedtime!’ “
