Hi all Have only got a minute - off out tonight and got to get the dinner ready yet, but I just wanted to check that you all know about the BBC2 programme that's coming on in the autumn (while I'm on holiday I bet - darn it). Ten stars are having their family history done. Haven't got time to type all the bumph here, but if anybody wants to know, I will have more time on Friday. Sounds quite interesting. After each programme there will be a short film giving advice on how to trace your own.Jeremy Clarkson turned out to be a descendant of Caleb Kilner who created the Kilner glass jar, so he wants to know why he didn't inherit the millions LOL. Cheers - Chrissie

Tony Blair goes into a posh restaurant and asks for a table. "Sorry, we're full" says the head waiter. "Do you know who I am" says Tone. "No, but I'm sure that either the police missing persons section or the Salvation Army could help you if you're suffering from amnesia" replies the waiter.

Well, given that my great-great-grandmother had my great grandfather by: possibly John Day, possibly George Day, or possibly someone else, I haven't a clue!
