Hi

What sort of things are you looking for? I've only written 2 threads, but they are both about the UK.
One is folklore from Shetland, one was about a UK man who challenged the medical experts, successfully.

Should I link them and you can decide if they fit in with your idea?

I actually thought this thread was general chat about the state of British Libraries, so I've glossed over it until now!
I think it's a really good idea, don't give up.

Post the links!
As Puterman said on previous page, it's meant to be a one stop shop if you will about British subjects. I would love to have a look at your folklore thread!
There must be many Brit based subjects/threads on here that just get swallowed up or overlooked and disappear off the 'new' list before us Brits pick up on them.

Ok, I will.

This one is a tale from Shetland about our very own Scottish werewolves - Who were the Wulvers?

And this one is about a man who challenged the heart surgeons who were going to operate on him, to the benefit of many others in the UK - Heart surgery in UK

They were quiet little threads, but someone looking through this might find one of them of interest one day.

I have to agree with Tsu, that a signature under your avatar is a great idea. I had no idea about this, until today.

ETA: Now I know about Mirageman's threads, the rest of this month's reading is sorted!
Thanks Jane, this is a great service!

I'm notoriously hopeless at starting threads - but any UK orientated I come across I will direct the OP to this thread as well.

Hello!

Just wanted to set the record straight, it was Putermans idea, I was just agreeing.

Oh yeah Tsu, so it was. Sorry Puterman, I mixed that up.
I don't want to cause a fracas at a British library, of all places!

Ssshhhh...just keep it down...you'll be fine....nothing funnier than a whispered fracas in a library!

I just wanted to say thank you for those who have been posting links on this thread....I don't always post in threads but I do read them and your hard work hasn't gone unnoticed. I probably would have missed a lot of these without the links.
