Asa matter of interest what makes you think you spend longer on computers than I do?
Researching the lives of the Accrington Pals, over 4000 men served in the 11th Battalion East Lancs,
Plus all the men from Greater Accrington who served in WW1 August 1914 to October 1919, 14400 odd of them, you try finding out where they were born, who their parents were, which school they went to, which pub they supped in who their mates were, wives, children, if they died where and when, where they are buried, any photographs of them for the displays, When I eventually get up in a morning, take my pills, read the paper having a pipe full o baccy, then switch on all the computers, check where I'm up to, and apart from meals, and a few other things, I will be at it till midnight.
