I think we all wish we’d listened and asked more questions

I remember my great Nan (born in 1893) prattling on when I was a child about some weirdo called Billy Bluelight who sold matches....it was only years after she died you realise the person she was talking about is a real Norwich folk hero....and she knew him!
Amazing story with the card, good on whoever re-posted it!!!
I wonder what your 18 year old Dad would have thought when he was writing that card if he’d known 80 years later it would make national news!!
