    How many of us had Far From the Madding Crowd as our Eng. Lit. O level novel?

     

    Not me, although I've since read and enjoyed it.  Being a contrary teen it would probably have put me off for life, whereas I now love Thomas Hardy, George Eliot and all those I escaped as a yoof 😎

    it might have been used as a fast way in to hack the decoder/programmer system without leaving a physical trace on the decoder?.

     

    As an example if the Nazis had incorporated a 'Say Again' operation into the process for communicating the new wheel and patch board settings for Enigma machines and the Allies found out about it

    I had to be carried out of the Cinema screaming in distress, mentally scarred for life, I can recall the incident in horrible clarity even now 68 year later.  How could anyone ever think that this  slaughterfest was suitable for young children

     

    Same here, but next decade at the Beacon Cinema, Scott Arms.  And my parents wondered why I wouldn't go to sleep until they'd moved the more ferocious Britains wild animals from my bedroom every night 🙄

    Totally disagree.

    £10!! and hidden in a sealed bag,

     

    I certainly wouldn't pay that, but I got my digital copy for £4.99 as part of the RMWeb sub.  I haven't a clue how much the dead-tree market is worth these days, I reckon it must be 15 years since I was last in a WHS or similar.
