And we're going to see the Halifax NS production of "Trial by Jury"
in three weeks. Next spring the company will present Pirates.

Peter Goodey...
I haven't the faintest idea how this thread drifted but...

Trivia time - did you know that the character Sir Joseph Porter ("Ruler
of the Queen's Navee") was based on W H Smith (he of the bookseller
chain), an MP who was subject to much derision for his lack of naval
experience when he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty.

I claim that to be of genealogical interest because yesterday I had cause
to carry out a bit of genealogical research on W H Smith .


"Let us gaily tread the measure..."
With my copy of today's Times came a poster sized royal family tree -
a rather better production than most sold in tourist shops etc.

I'm not suggesting anyone rush out and buy a copy, but if you know
your neighbours take the newspaper and are likely not to be interested
in the tree, it's the sort of thing primary schools might appreciate,
if you don't know any other "good home".

Lesley Robertson...
I do like people who pick up on references!

Fenny...
When Stern Duty calls, I must obey!

(We're going to see Pirates in a couple of weeks)

We're going to Mikado at the start of Dec!
