Default Bletchley Saviour. Desert Island Discs BBC Radio 4

I've just heard the repeat of Desert Island Discs with Sue Black Computer Scientist and Social Entrepreneur. Describes herself as a "nerd". Very interesting, she found out that B Park involved thousands of women operatives and set about saving it.

The work she does with children, re being safe on-line, is also impressive. Her husband proposed via a computer simulated Enigma Machine. He knew what he was doing

I heard that too, very good, a rather eclectic choice of music. I also liked her "luxury item" of red hair dye.

Yes Merlin, there was hardly anything in it that was predictable but all so interesting and positive. It was a bit surprising that she hadn't heard the full Bletchley story but I suppose not everyone thinks vintage
