Chris McManus uncovers the secrets of a collection of six thousand dusty old postcards which turned up in a forgotten cupboard in the Psychology Department of University College London. 

It started with two medium-sized cardboard boxes.

When Richard Rawles of the Department of Psychology of University College London opened them he found 6000 postcards which from the postmarks dated from August 1953.

They were addressed to the BBC Television Service and the search was on to find out how they came to be there and what information they contained.

Audio books really are a wonderful thing, not only do they transport you to other worlds, introduce you to other people’s ideas and culture, they are also a lot more flexible than books. The book drains your time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time.

Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want.

Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again.
