Bletchley Park's bitter dispute over its future

[Buddahaid]

Interesting in a depressing way. I've always envied the British and their sense of history, but I see the walls have been breached and my trust proven tainted.

You contact a long standing company in the USA and they haven't a clue what they made a hundred years ago, or fifty years ago, or even twenty years ago in anything but the most general way, but I always thought, perhaps mistakenly, that one could find records of what some British company made two hundred years ago without much effort. It must be the Union Jack colored glasses I've worn.
