Richard of York gave battle in vain clearly never featured in their education then! I'm not that much older than Katie.

Everyone knows this. Sigh. It doesn't even make sense but it serves a purpose.

Similarly; my very early morning jam sandwich usually nauseate people, for the planets.

The Rainbow song on Show Me Show Me, although verbally correct, has Violet child before Indigo child.

Unless they've corrected it since I last saw it.

It was when I got taught that. It's not now. Poor Pluto.

I checked on Pluto recently and it's still a planetoid.

Both wrong. It's 'My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets'. Wink

Poor Pluto. :(

As for cbeebies. Think they all need to go back to school.

I seem to remember reading a few years ago that 'they' did away with indigo and violet and just called it purple. It was something to do with somebody wanting 7 colours in the rainbow because 7 is a special number but there are only 6.

CBeebies worst crime is 'goodbye sun, hello moon' every sodding day.

The moon does not only come out at night. Angry
