In response to "dear diary"..... and playing the piano in gloves., written by Kate on July 10, 1998 at 14:05:12

To L and T index
] I writhe with embarrassment in Emma 2 when GP, who has been doing not too badly with voiceovers, says "Dear Diary"...
] I have nothing on which I can base this assumption, but I am sure that the self conscious custom of young ladies keeping journals which they addressed as "dear diary" has to be a late 19C phenomenon at the earliest? It seems so out of place.

I cringe at that bit too, for the same reason, but I have no idea whether they did it or not....
