Looking for comments!

Very readable and interesting entry on something I'd never heard of...



- Jimi X

Very well written and interesting.

A couple of minor points:

The spot in Hyde Park where people can expound their views is Speakers' Corner. Hyde Park Corner is actually in another part of the park.

'Took up residence in the Brit Mus' - did you mean that literally? Only the Director and possibly one or two others actually have apartments there.

I haven't been able to get a location for Fort's rant other than Hyde Park corner. It's possible it was Speaker's Corner, but I shall have to dig a little deeper to make sure.

Knowing Fort, it's just possible he picked a random corner and started talking.

Mr. and Mrs Fort had a house - or rather several rooms - near the BM, but when I say Fort was resident there I mean it in the sense that he spent more time in the library than anywhere else. Marx did much the same thing, apparently. I'm excercising a little creative licence. Possibly rather too much. I might re-write that line.

Do. It's a research facility, like a university library, and many people spend a lot of time in the Reading Room, because you can't take books out. http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/ For Speakers' Corner see http://www.royalparks.gov.uk/hyde_history.htm"

Very interesting I had no idea the the 'Fortean' was coined from someone's name. Always happy to learn something new.

Great one!

There's four things left to fix:
1. wouls stop -> would stop
2. truely -> truly
3. wierdness -> weirdness


(No 4 was to press a certain button and has been taken care of now)

Typo still to corect;
