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

We've still got the "hot" weather and hosepipe bans are coming into force all over. I wrote to my M.P. for info, as I was told years ago that the water for the townspeople of Pontefract was granted free by royal charter and could she find out if that's true ?

Ooh, that would be worth a project for some law students...

part of the reply.

There is not enough information in the constituent’s email to address the Royal Charter point. If any such royal charter was issued there should be a formal document setting out the rights and who has the benefit of such rights. The constituent may wish to check the local archives for Pontefract and/or the deeds of his/her property and any other relevant documents to see if they can find any reference to such legal rights. The terms of any charter would be different depending on the individual circumstances.

I've now "mailed" a request to a local heritage group, to see if "they" can be of help ?

Good idea! If nothing else, some student could get a paper out of it.

it's just so I can tell any authority where to stick their water meter, if "they" intend installing one

I figured.

"IF" my memory had not been damaged by the car crash in 1978/9 (actual date unknown) I just know it was on dad's birthday (5th Mar) and family can't remember the year either.
I'd have had/learnt more about Pontefract's history

Get some students to do the legwork. They can go to the library.

I have an approx' I.Q of 140 (not taken by the full Mensa test -"they" wanted £27 at the time) but I was bringing my 2 kids up and "benefits don't allow luxuries )
Alas because of the smash, I can't get 120 of them working at the same time

that test was done after the smash so even today, I wonder what ? it could have been before the smash oh hum!

Here's a video for you, fresh off the mixing board:
