moved this little snippet from "Chit-Chat Archive" to Literature.
Will keep going back to the archive now & again to look through the interesting snippets that mattycat & chellin post, as might be others that can be moved to Literature or British History. Might be good idea to post future Literature or British history snippets directly to these boards instead of into Chit-Chat -
& still put them on the Calendar, of course. :ck-smile:
