I totally agree with Ron.

My parents walked out of church on their wedding day to a hail of bombs (not an omen, they enjoyed many happy years together). I accept that the evidence on the BBC website is anecdotal but nevertheless it is no less an honest portrayal of how people saw things than these later interpretations of evidence.

Every situation contains contradictory aspects and features. My Mum also talked of some very dark days, and small number of people who blatantly took advantage of others and even made their fortunes during these times, but that should not detract from the overwhelming majority who did "just carry on" and give whatever help and support they could to others.

Perhaps we just find it increasingly hard to believe as we become a more selfish and uncaring society????
