Task 1- "captain we have a problem" update

Well today I went to the library and was very happy to discover they carried the Times from 1950 on micro filch, but that is pretty much were the happiness ends. It turns out after scanning threw January that the Sunday times haven't been put on them so it went from,

Saturday 21 January to Monday 23 January.

So yes, I screamed and stamped my feet and threw a tantrum that would put every five year old in every supermarket sweet isle the world over to shame. I did however keep it confined to inside my head and externally I simply stared at the machine asking it why it was doing this to me.

I will however not be beat, after all this is what I enjoy about research after I've calmed down that is. It can be easy, ' found it' and then it can take days,weeks and in some cases years to find that one small article. I however do not have the privilege of months or even weeks as the dead line is Saturday for this task. 'what to do?' well I could take the easy route and chose another article to use  or I could simply go to the archives at Walsall and take a photo of it. The problem there is that I have already arranged with Neil Lebeter to go on the 25th and spend the day in the archives, So I can not just turn up and expect it to be handed to me. Plus where's the achievement in that. Which leaves the only other choice being just keep on looking and if I've had no success by Saturday then I will just have to Blog another rant, but hopefully it won't come to that.
