Talk:Samuel Galton Jr.

message: I'd like to go more in detail about Galton being condemned by his religion for manufacturing weapons and being a part of the slave trade. Apparently his defense was basically "a man's got to make a living and Britain is constantly at war so it's a citizen's duty to contribute".   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackthemitch (talk • contribs) 17:43, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Operation Bernhard

message: In terms of 'Legacy', it might be worth mentioning that the plot of Margery Allingham's classic crime novel Traitor's Purse (1941), set in August 1940, hinges on an enemy plan to flood Britain with near-perfect forged banknotes, to cause chaotic inflation and bring down the government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traitor%27s_Purse The book has remained in print ever since. Allingham outlines the genius of the scheme, which is that, if the forgeries are passed in sufficient numbers, the government will have no choice but to accept them as legal tender. She also outlines the drawback (which in reality defeated the Germans), which is the difficulty of getting the public to accept and spend the forgeries in the necessary numbers. In the novel, fifth-columnists take advantage of a large war-loan bond issue, whose prospectus is to be mailed to all taxpayers (half the adult population) on 15 August, so that the GPO has been warned to expect a huge rush of official mail. Vast quantities of the forged notes (imported in wine cases just before the war and securely stored by a collaborator), £4 to £9 at a time, have been inserted into bogus official OHMS envelopes, addressed to poorer non-taxpayers and benefit claimants, the people most likely to accept such an official windfall, with bogus letters from the Ministry of Labour explaining in official gobbledegook why the money has been awarded. Three hundred trucks are on hand to deliver the letters and banknotes to main railway stations along with the real war-loan mailshots. The scheme fails only at the last minute because of the hero's intervention. Of course the Germans never had such a fifth-column organisation in Britain, and Allingham knew nothing about Operation Bernhard till after the war and was surprised to hear of it. But it is notable that an imaginative writer saw the catastrophic possibilities of the scheme (and saw its difficulties better than the enemy seems to have done).

Talk:James Keir

message: I have added slightly to the article, based on Ellis, whom I have cited.  However I have not reread Uglow in order to add citations from that.  However, apparently, there is an older biography: Amelia Moillet, A Sketch of the Life of James Keir Esq FRS (1868).  Having not seen it I do not feel able to cite it.  Having added sources, I have removed 'unsourced'.  However the article still needs more work and I have thus left the stub designations.  The other partners in the glassworks included Samuel Skey, who was a vitriol manufacturer at Bewdley, and probably deserves an article, but I do not know enough to write it.

Talk:Chullora

message: Insert non-formatted text here
There were 2 or 3 bunker complexes located in the chullora railway workshops area during ww2. However there is very little information on this bunker excpet for what workers from the railway workshops have divulged about the bunker complexes.
It has been advised there was a bunker complex under Marlene and Davis st, Chullora. Apparently there is two doors in the side of the hill which give access to the bunker that have been sealed, according to one of the employees of the workshops, the bunker has been partially backfilled as over the years, several large trucks have run over the top of the bunker and cause minor collapses of the tunnel roof and concrete was poored to stop further damage. Very little is know about the use of the tunnel, but due to its exposed location (the only known entrance is in the side of an embankment about 300 metres from the main worksop area) and was most likely some kind of testing or design area.
It has also been advised there are two large bunker like "basements" under two of the workshops dating from ww2. One of them apparently still existed (as of the year 2000) it was completely empty except for a few tables and bits of junk and access was via a trap door. The other "basement" was located under a workshop that has since been demolished to make way for the fairfax publishing building. Apparently this basement included a tunnel system, with one of the entrances being located in an embankment located along Worth st Chullora opposite the TAFE college.
Unfortunately all these sites cannot be verified by official government documentation at the moment. 220.237.17.99 04:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: At first, aliens would wear green helmets, making them easily identifiable, but later in the game, would be indistinguishable from humans. It was possible to let a human die, as his knocking on the hatch would become at first frantic, then slower and more feeble as they perished. Not in the CoCo3 version that I played. They consistently had the differently colored helmet. Any other remembrances?

If the telescope in the observatory is set improperly, looking through it shows a brief cutscene of a Martian landscape with the Jaggi guy pounding with his hands. I don't know about the C64 original, but I've seen this in both the low-res and high-res PC versions (I think it's in all other versions too, except NES). And, since the version included in DOTT is 100% identical to the low-res version, it is no surprise that this easter egg also appears there.

Talk:Lancaster Royal Grammar School

message: To my knowledge, the school has a long rowing tradition, and the current entry suggests otherwise.  Anyone with more contextual knowledge than myself might like to amend this part. David Gates
the rowing at Lancaster is woefully underfunded, and while there is a strong movement within areas of the school, it is still eclipsed by rugby and cricket, thus not allowing it the chance to blossom as it gud elsewhere
Rowing seams to outperform the other sports on the national stage, especially considering the funding difference, rowing has 2-3 qualified coaches and 4-5 qualified launch drivers to my knowledge. The master I/C of rowing at the moment is David Yates and the club has had reasonable success in regional and national sculling races  MugHolder6110 (talk) 04:51, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

message: This page requires a pretty major cleanup, the main points which should be addessed are;

*the first line does not flow 'Lancaster Royal Grammar School (LRGS) is a state grammar day- and boarding school for boys in Lancaster, England' think the word day is misplaced
*Three sections only have one sentance, sections should therefore be merged and use more sentances
*Dates do not match, in the info box it says the school was formed in 1235 yet in the main article it says 1472, it should be made more clear when it was actually formed.

Talk:Fingersmith (novel)

message: I'm not so sure about naming conventions, but doesn't "Victorian" usually refer to novels written during that specific time period?  The plot of the novel certainly takes place during the Victorian period and both the styles and conventions used in the novel are of a Victorian origin, but the novel itself is definitely playing around with and reinterpreting these in a very modern way.  As such, I've edited the main description from "Victorian crime fiction" to "Victorian-inspired crime fiction."  Even then, I don't think this is really accurate.
I also add "Gothic fiction" to the list of genres in the sidebar.  This novel leans very heavily on the traditions and elements of that genre.
