.... was in 1944, when a Scotwoman was imprisoned for 9 months in Holloway for allegedly disclosing World War II secrets - she told a seance a warship had sunk before the news had been released.
"It was claimed that she endangered the war effort by using her powers as a spiritualist or medium to reveal the fact, kept secret, that the ship the HMS Barham had been sunk."

Is she still about
Would she help with lottery numbers, has she a daughter, or 7th son
SWMBO has a black cat but she never wins anything
I asked the cat to pick some numbers but all she said was "me, how"

Funny that
My son made a similar remark when I gave him a bollocking for fusing the electrics.
Just because he didn't do it doesn't meant it wasn't his fault.
Generally speaking he has done more damage than the earthquake did.
