Re: Bletchley Park
There used to be an old lady who lived here in the village. The first time I met her and she heard I was from Cambridge she told me that she had known Alan Turing. It turned out she was a WREN who used to work with the bombes in Bletchley Park. If anyone asked her what she did in the war, the official answer was that she painted the plimsoll lines on ships. Eventually she was allowed to talk about BP and got a certificate signed by Gordon Brown thanking her for doing work of national importance but not saying what she actually did.
