Maybe I can at least equal it on one day. I was born Friday 24th March 1944. It appears to be a bit of a busy day. March 24th is the 365th and last day of the year in many European implementations of the Julian calendar. On the same day:- Ardeatine Caves massacre: German troops murder 335 Italian civilians in Rome. 24th March 1944, 76 Allied prisoners-of-war escaped from Stalag Luft III, a German POW camp that housed captured airmen. Their bold action was the basis for the film “The Great Escape” and was the largest mass escape of Allied prisoners during the Second World War. 24th March 1944 On this day, Maj. Gen. Orde Wingate, leader of the 77th Indian Brigade, also called the Chindits, dies in a transport plane crash. He was 41 years old. 811 British bombers attack Berlin. on the raid was 427 Squadron - Weather: Cloudy. Fair to fine later. Visibility moderate to good. The Squadron was called upon to provide fifteen aircraft this date, the target being BERLIN. This was like home week for the more experienced crews of the Squadron. Three aircraft failed to return from this operation, they were "J" JOHNNY piloted by CAN.R128270 W/O Yaworski, A.R., "K" KITTY piloted by CAN.R69918 F/S Dowdell, S.G. and "V" VIC piloted by W/0 Magdalinski W.F.. The remaining twelve aircraft successfully bombed the target and all returned to base except one aircraft that landed down south. -----Original Message----- From: B.

What charms me is the description of Mrs Searle as having been a bed layer for 16 years. Happy New Year, everybody!

It doesn't actually say consecutively, though I think it means that. In 60 years of life the average time sleeping in bed is 197100 hours divide that by 24 = 8212.5 days divide that by 365 = 22.5 years. Since I'm over 60 I can better that. As she was 81 you can add on a few more years for the rest of her life. I trust she didn't suffer bed sores. I've tried a few of those when I was in hospital for a long time years ago wired up for a broken Femur. Ouch! Not nice to have.
