Had an e mail from Genes yesterday quoting the "Share your knowledge" thread.
Doesn´t look like they´ve had much response.

Me too. but I,m not interested in showing myself on camera . bad enough catching glimpses of myself in shop windows and thinking Blimey girl you are fat & looking old and more like Mum every day.

Was saying the same to daughter on Saturday and she said I keep seeing myself and thinking I look like Mum !!

Same as Shirley - there are far better researchers on this site than I.

If anyone has volunteered, well done for having the confidence.

They'd probably want you to have used the GR held records for your research, not talk about other subscription sites or sources :-0

I have not used GR records, DET. But can act to a script and am extremely photogenic. And have never visited Cannes. I could have a late career like Albert Tatlock :-D ;-)

I got the email a couple of days ago. If they looked at their records they'd know that I live in Canada. Are they planning to fly over here to interview me?

I live in Spain Margee & haven´t been to England for 5 years.
Think they´d pay my fare & accommodation if I volunteered?
Mind you, I too only have basic membership, so I´m probably not what they are looking for......quite apart from frightening the horses. :-D
