A British TLIAD


Oh yes, what's all this then?


It's a TLIAD – a Timeline In A Day – about British politics.


You're one of them are you?


A Politi-Brit? Yes. A Liberal? No.


So its about the old pre-1988 Liberal Party?


Correct.


And will it actually be finished in a day?


Of course not – I'm too British to defy such a long-standing tradition. Besides which, what kind of tribute to the Liberal Party would it be if I actually kept a promise?


That was supposed to be an anachronistic satirical joke wasn't it?


Yes.


You're even doing the inner dialogue bit.


Tradition, uncritical acceptance of.


Agent Boot” eh? Sounds like someone's a closet Lavender fan?


Very much so, along with several other works after six long years of forum lurking. The user name is a homage to two of my favourite AH.com writers, in addition to being a real world allusion to a British political giant. This short timeline marks my transition from shadow lurker of the AH wilderness to full poster. It started as ideas accumulated from research into the time period for a much larger project, and quickly bloated into a work in its own right.


Get on with it then.


Noted.
