morning all! thanks for all the "stuff" yesterday! By the time I got home from college I was so tired I didn't even log on, just went straight to bed!!!

Hope everyone has a good day today.....I could do with a day off just to catch up with you lot!

My word, you must have been tired - I've seen posts from you where you're propping up your eyelids with matchsticks. Hope you slept well - we looked after your diary for you!

Just carrying on that tradition for a mo - I *loved* economic history, of course I studied it back in the 70s, it was the first time I came across working class history in any shape or form, it was really liberating! Power to the people! Yay! [KC realises what she's doing, and morphs back into the 2008 version, where that isn't needed in quite the same way.....]

Phew. I prefer 2008, with all its woes.

Liberating? It was all about canals and spinning machines... :rolleyes:

Mine was about, how reasonably rich families became very rich through the advent of spinning/weaving machines, they then invested that money into getting their goods to market - firstly turnpikes, then canals. They then took the money they made from canals (turnpikes are not that profitable) and invested them into railways.

There you go - there's a years work in there... :rolleyes:

Interesting! Thats economics for you - there's an economic side to absolutely everything. Mind you, I never understood what a spinning jenny actually *was*! And one side of my lot were weavers, only just lost to living memory in the last couple of years. Oops...

Be thankful - I did a Maths and Computer Science degree, and ended up having to do Economics and Economic History... :eek:

Maths...Computer Science...History. Spot the odd one out...

Ooo couldn't have handled the Maths but History was my major and Business Computing my minor. The only good thing about my encounter with Keynes was it meant I knew to move heaven and earth to avoid the economics modules in the computing options

Hmmm, still thinking about doing an OU history degree; did cr*p at GCSEs and changed route, ending up with a Law degree (6 years part time!) Have always been fascinated by social history..


ANy, back to topic

Hypno, I am never on when you are online due to you nice new shiny job! I do however have some left over swiss francs. If you are happy to pm me your address (and of course you can use them) I am happy to add them to the cause.

Hi guys :hello:

Not much to report - went to Lidl on my way home from work......I *think* I spent less there for what I bought, but brain was not switched on, so I am not entirely sure!!

Gosh what an exciting life I lead!
