sounds like the era when MacDonald's opened in Piccadilly Circus... this is what I thought, but not the specific point in time, but when it came to be known to a wide enough public in Britain/Europe to support Mr.Cooke's interest. As Mr Cooke lives in the US it is not bound to be that era though; as it seems, following his narrative, he has done that piece for an American newspaper. On the other hand I am not clear whether his authorship is really sure, it would be very questionable that I knew the piece before this Monday in that case. But I think I did, at least the hamburger "clou". Or it might be that the "plot" of the story was given by the rules of the game previously.our previous interaction I should go on by posting my family history. But I won't. Just want to remark that what is known to me is shorter (and thereby the tree not so wide) than yours. Anyway you posted in concern of how history should be taught which would be, from the few I have seen, also very interesting for me, as you may have felt as well. I think it amazing, how deep the conversation on this internet thread is going. But, as I am not going to be a professional SI poster, I will have to restrict myself not to read into it. Maybe later. So I won't comment on your post in its' original context either.me most about school is the strangeness of the human memory. I have been taught so many things that I have forgotten, but some are still present and available. E.g. Latin still works quite well, although I have no connection to it, while English - well, English had to be restarted in a way two/three years after school. I was lucky about it though. Many forget even more.
