Elderly Bletchley Park volunteer sacked for showing Colossus exhibit to visitors

Heritage

My wife's Nan worked at Bletchley Park and although by the time I knew her she was a shadow of her former self I was really hoping I'd be able to take our daughter there when she was older. As I want her to see things as they were so she could not only see the machines but get an idea of the environment that these amazing people worked in, now it appears that this will all be behind glass with shiny walkways and even shinier tour guides. Such a shame.

Grow your own

I don't know if anyone has already suggested this but if you were to do this over a longer period, surely growing your own veg (and possibly fruit) in a window box or something similar would be a good way of keeping cost down and fresh food intake up, would it not?
