Do you know how often they've done this since 1937?

I had an email about it today.

Sadly it's set to be one of the busiest days of my year, but I may still send in a diary .....

Sorry Father but I don't go anymore. I used to if that helps.

How is a Sunday a 'typical' day when there are only 52 of them in a year and there are over 300 other 'working' days?

Sue, I don't know. I see that the regular thing they do now is to have a panel, to whom they send invitations for input on a topic every so often, but they do mention a one-off like this one, exactly three years ago. I see, btw, that they're pretty careful about not revealing personal information.

I doubt that they'll be bothered about it being sent in after the date, so long as you can remember some of what you did. ;) I've not started mine yet.

I was looking at some of the archive entries about the 1981 royal wedding. "Something cheerful in the gloom of redundancy, youth unemployment and riots" says the first.
