Well, am home and suffering from a slower conection, hence the double posting last night....... it was very nearly a triple posting, but I gave up with the waiting........
However, being home I poped into my local library to look through the Electroial Register. I was very impressed with the refurbishment job they've done. I'm very impressed!!!
But, I've discovered a stumbling block in the whole looking up my friend. The Electorial Register that is kept in the local library is only for the local borough. In this case the Borough of Rushmore. It's also sorted by road, so if you wanted to find someone it'll be a case of looking through every road in the borough till you find them. So not knowing which borough, let along which street to look in......... so as you can see...... that makes it a bit more difficult.
What I really need is a big book that lists people by name and has their addresses...... like the phone book. There is a problem with the phone book. For instance. I'm not in the phone book. The reason being, I'm not the one who pays the phone bill.
So, in theory, I can look through the phone books (all in the library) list all the possible "Stoners" (a lot) and their addresses and go to a local library and then look them up in Register. I suppose it would be easier to pay the odd £15 to one of these internet companies and let them do it......... but I think that's just not playing cricket.
Unless........ Hampshire Central Library is in Winchester..... now if they had a copy of all the Registers for Hampshire, I could just go there and look through that...... I mean, there can't be that many people in Hampshire..... right....????
