Combined Cadet Force
I read your comments on the CCF scheme. Too right, every place I know which has had CCF it's been compulsory. Folk start it in their early teens, if not earlier, and they don't have much of a choice about it.

There are a lot of very serious political questions about CCF too, the more one thinks about it.

Personally I think it should be called SOS (Scouts on Steroids).--MacRusgail (talk) 14:41, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Maps (1790–1914)
Do I? I can't find them there. I wish communication between editors could be easier. Maproom (talk) 15:52, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. -- &oelig; &trade; 03:49, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

John Cary's New Itinerary
Your old books and maps has a copy of this work. Does your copy give any coach times detail at all? If so, I would be interested in reading such information for the London to King's Lynn route --Senra (talk) 15:19, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops - scratch that - found a google copy which I am looking through now

Cambridgeshire
Hi

It was nice to meet you at the Cambridge 8 meet. I saw a map of Cambridgeshire a while ago and cannot now remember where. It showed Cambridge and Ely and the flooded marshes and meres of The Fens, so it was likely drawn between mid 17th century and early 19th century. Do you have such a map in your collection? I am trying to help re-write Aldreth&mdash;apparent site of battles between William the Conqueror and Hereward the Wake; such a map would help --Senra (talk) 09:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

I'm sorry, I don't have anything before 1790 http://www.maproom.org/00/07/index.php ; and that doesn't do much to show which areas are fen.

I have just created George Lily in customary fashion - editing DNB text. It occurred to me that you might be interested. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:05, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Speaking as a brit, sorry you are unaware of "hinging"'s repeated use by British legal academics and philosophers. Ironholds (talk) 13:26, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
