  • Interesting item. Everyone has a story of some kind, and it is good that they are being collected and stored, despite the sneers of those who think they know better.
  • Wouldn't it be a sad to a have a life without a story? I think
    it would be impossible to live without having some tales to tell.
  • I agree with you, Carol, and I don't know why these academics should sneer, nobody's suggesting that every story should be turned into a novel. Although I'm sure that many of these stories would have film/book potential. It sounds like a great project.

    ...thinking about it...only in episodes - the long bits in between are too long and dull. Novels are full of the interesting bits only.....?
  • That's a good quote Bill.
    Academics seem to sneer naturally. ;)
