I liked these quite a bit -- it _is_ interesting
Wonder if they ever used the site for any episodes of Foyle's War....
(which I love love love)

I spent the better part of the today with Chris at Bletchley Park, exploring
the code-breaking exhibitions. It's a great day out for anyone interesting
in the history of computing or WWII, and highly recommended, although
Bletchely and the museum of computing are scandalously under-funded, so it
all looks a bit shabby.
You might find this a bit dull if you're not interested in the subject, but
I took several of them to show my mother, who worked in sigint after the war
on this sort of equipment.

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of Colossus, which was working away
at decrypting Hermann Goering's shopping list or something, but it's a
fascinating machine. Go there if you can. But on a Saturday or a Thursday
when you can actually get into the part of the museum where they have the
type of machines I used to program...
There are some cows too.
