  • Clock And Coronation (25 March 1977)

    Clock And Coronation (25 March 1977)
    About this time of year in 1937 – 40 years ago – the people of this district and of every other place in the British Isles were busily preparing to celebrate the coronation of King George VI, father of our present Queen.  I was not living in North Bucks at the time.  In fact, I ...

    The Film That Shocked Rector (18 March 1977)
    I like talking with young people.  They teach me a lot. Oh yes, they do!  They have a better grasp of some aspects of 20th century life than I will ever have.  And they can cause me to question the validity of some notions which for practically all my days I have held to be ...
  • An Airing For All The UFOs (11 March 1977)

    TRM/208
    An Airing For All The UFOs (11 March 1977)
    I note with interest that UFOs are with us again.   I say “again” because they have been with us from time to time for the past 20 years at least.  When they first appeared they naturally attracted our attention at the Gazette office and after making a number of inquiries we arrived at an explanation ...

    Debt That Never Was (4 March 1977)
    I hope everybody has taken notice of Mr Ron Staniford’s recent letter to the Gazette regarding the true nature and extent of the debt on Bletchley’s Leisure Centre.  And I call it “Bletchley’s Leisure Centre”, not “The Bletchley Leisure Centre”, quite deliberately, for reasons which I hope to make clear. The story does not go back ...
  • My First Visit To A Cinema (25 February 1977)

    TRM/206
    My First Visit To A Cinema (25 February 1977)
    One advantage of age is that we have been at or near the beginning of so many developments that were exciting in their time but which are commonplace today.  One of them is the cinema. I saw my first moving picture on a wet Bank Holiday.  I was maybe six years old and my father said:  ...
  • First Royal Visitor For Town (18 February 1977)

    TRM/205
    First Royal Visitor For Town (18 February 1977)
    Does it seem to you like 25 years since Princess Elizabeth became Queen?  I suppose your answer will be the same as mine – sometimes it does and other times it doesn’t.  It does when you look at all the changes that have since occurred both locally and nationally.  It doesn’t when you consider all ...
