Auntie - how could you!

A quote from tonight's BBC Antique Roadshow.

Fiona Bruce is walking around a workhouse, and she says "It's all too easy to imagine Mr Pickwick and his matron patrolling the corridors"

Well it's damned difficult for ME to imagine Mr PICKWICK doing any such thing. *HEADDESK*

There's a grave stone near the west entrance of the Minster that has WTF carved in large letters with the date 1680 in smaller script underneath. WTF indeed BBC researcher.

I instantly turned into "Disgusted from Norfolk" and actually search for the AR message boards to moan. Luckily I never found them....

I was trying to process the information, actually. My head was so stuffed full of Cavaliers and Roundeads and musket drills and battles that I wasn't really thinking straight. I sort of took the sentence into my head and it was like something was kicking my brain saying "what was wrong with that sentence?" I think it took me about ten seconds to react.

But then, communication was slower in the 17th Century!
