h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Katherine

My story "A Childhood in Nazi-Occupied Italy", at A1993403 , has been edited and archived and I can no longer access it to edit it. Could you, therefore, correct two errors for me?

Nearly at the bottom, just above the 'Back to England' section, there is this paragraph:

"There was one final thing. In August 1946 I was at a dance in Luino. The South Africans stopped the dance to announce that an atom bomb had been dropped on Japan. ..."

The date, of course, should be August 1945, not 1946.

And in the very next paragraph there is another error - at the start of the "Back to England" section:

"In late 1946 I returned to England with my father's aunt, Esther Maturi, who had come to visit relatives and to collect me. I remember crossing into Switzerland and stopping in Basle."

This is wrong, we stopped at Bâle in Lausanne, not Basle in Basel. Could you change Basle to Bâle? They are both pronounced alike, but are entirely different cities.

Many thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

All done. Let me know if there's anything else.

Many thanks, Deborah
