Now, let's see what the #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject has to say about #Bodgeham. Wow, there's even an entry for the Village Fête! I love these submissions written by the local school kids... #EMFCamp #Tetrapod #Awoo #Beep

Wait, what's this #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject page about a #BodgehamBadger? Now the crumpet proliferation is starting to make some kind of sense... #EMFCamp #CrumpetCamp

#Bodgeham, yep that's the one. Bodgeham-on-Wye, in the parish of Hackerly. Good old #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject. I knew it would be in there somewhere... #EMFCamp

Now, what's that place called again? Ah yes, #Bodgeham. Hereford and Worcestershire, as it used to be known. That's the one... #EMFCamp #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject

How does this #BBCMicro #DomesdayProject system work again? Ah, I see... #EMFCamp

You can access the #BBC #Domesday #DomesdayProject data and pictures on the UK #NationalArchives #DomesdayReloaded site, although it's not the same without the laserdisc whirring away...

Here is the totally real and not made up at all Battle of Huntingdon:

An early example of digital disinformation in user generated content, from the #BBC #Domesday #DomesdayProject. None of this actually happened. Huntingdon doesn't even have two bridges...

Broke my journey from #WHY2025 to visit the Centre for Computing History and see the last working Domesday Machine. Send me UK place names, and I will try to look them up for you! :goathacker: #BBC #Domesday #DomesdayProject #RetroComputing
