Dark cellar. Rake. That's it.

Quite. Illusion of wilderness in areas that have been managed since the neolithic.

Seeing them in the wilds of the SW, rather than the manicured SE must be something!

Come to the Chilterns - red kites are ten a penny. Wonderful when you're out (could be anywhere, not just on a ridge) and you realise there's a massive raptor just overhead!

F__ you I won't buy what you sell me also made an appearance amongst the mad young trots at York, if I remember.

My 7 year old scandalised Waitrose by spoonerising 'popcorn' at the top of her voice. Multiple times. I've been back, but still get looks.

Edward Petherbridge was a far superior Wimsey: pale and gallant, unlike IC's supercilious sleekness. More a well-fed otter than a traumatised, lonely knight-errant.

3. Please don't look to schools to do more - we already do more than our remit in terms of social care, feeding, clothing, healthcare etc. We are also apparently going to solve the problem of toxic masculinity and the manosphere, if my inbox is anything to go by! Happy to chat

Just to say three things:
1. It's too expensive - but fantastic, dedicated, compassionate, staff who keep our kids safe, fed, engaged and learning don't earn enough
2. Someone's making money, but it's not schools or small, independent firms

That's the one! New show looks great. Will certainly watch if busy dad schedule allows. Remember, AHS is always ready to welcome you if you'd like a trip down memory lane, or just to chat to older students about your wiggly career path!

I've been a history teacher for 25 years, and that word had areas been banned in my classrooms. Our subject community teaches students to interrogate thoughtfully, apply contextual and rational understandings to source material, and to avoid pitfalls like this.

That's what you're missing.
But it's OK.

Come to Aylesbury High School - please see the progress we have made. Chat to our ACS - African Caribbean Society - interrogate our curriculum! Happy to chat more.

Thanks. It's A4. And yes, she's drawing every day. Thank you for the comment and encouragement. I'll pass it on, and it will mean something.

I'm shocked that Richard Scarry has not yet broken BlueSky. Maybe I don't follow the right people. Lowly Worm is the hero we need in these dark days.

Oh, I can tell you about teaching fails - but good to hear.

Ian, you did a good thing there, for all of us. This book slaps hard.

Hmm. I guess that's true for MPs, but city and regional mayors have a slightly different mandate and relationship to the party. Collective cabinet responsibility doesn't apply, and they can't be whipped. Direct democracy allows for this - but I take your point. Plenty of dissent in Labour ranks!

To be fair, Claire, Sadiq clearly opposes a 3rd runway and confirmed that today.
