Britain in WW2

Oh, dude, the shelter of a doorway is like, just a little nook where you can chill for a bit, maybe avoid the rain or something. But a home, like the one Doctor Barnardo set up, is like a whole deal, with walls, a roof, probably some furniture - you know, the works. It's like comparing a cardboard box to a mansion, man.

Oh, dude, in a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution, so technically they don't have much say in how the country is run. It's more like they're there for show, like a fancy ornament on a cake. So yeah, people in a constitutional monarchy have some say, but the real power lies with the elected government.

The vacuum tubes (valves) in the Colossus computer enabled it to perform processing. These tubes acted as electronic switches, allowing Colossus to execute complex calculations and process data at high speeds. The extensive use of vacuum tubes made Colossus one of the first programmable electronic digital computers, capable of breaking encrypted messages during World War II.

Well, friend, a circle is a shape with no corners and a curved edge, like a warm hug wrapping around. A square, on the other hand, has four equal sides and four right angles, like a cozy little house where everything fits just right. Both shapes are unique and beautiful in their own way, just like you are unique and special in this world.

An Anderson shelter was called an Anderson shelter because the person that invented them, his second name was Anderson. Same with a Morrison shelter really.

When first constructed, barges had no motor to propel them , Hence to move along a canal horses were used.

The barge in the canal ; the horse on the tow path ; a rope was attached between the barge and the horse, and the horse moved forward. Because the barge was in a 'soft' medium' ; water, the horse did not have to put in too much effort to move the barge.

There would be a bargemen to steer the barge , and an hostler to guide the horse.

In this modern era, barges, whilst looking like old time barges, do have a motor, so the use of an horse is no longer required.

The Channel or more correctly The English Channel.

To the French it is 'La Manche'.

Theodor Huess was elected Federal President of West Germany on September 12, 1949, and Konrad Adenauer was elected Federal Chancellor of West Germany three days later on September 15. I am not knowledgeable enough to say which office was the closest counterpart to that of a prime minister, but I remember that Adenauer's name comes up most frequently on the subject of postwar Germany.
