We didn't do sewing in school. We had art for all and crafts for all, the latter including woodwork, pottery, metalwork, mask making but nothing related to sewing or knitting. Not sex segregated either, and nor was PE, ever.

Suffer little children ...

Well, quite- I posted the tamer Guardian article on this yesterday. Always interrogate the source.

Another tone deadline here.

We definitely need to leave the beautiful harmonies to cardi and her amazing tones 😊

Wow BIWI thats impressive.

my mum could sing and my dad plays the guitar and now the ukelele and mandarin after the last few Xmas purchases to keep him amused 🤣

Mu nephew plays the piano really well - self taught!

I'm hopeless at all arts and crafts. Can't paint, draw, sew or knit. I got a 'U' in art and design O level at school. Neither can I sing, dreadful voice. It's that bad that I was kicked out of the school choir in primary school.

I'm reasonably good at gardening though and pretty good at garden design (just don't ask me to draw it).

Adding to the disgust. The restraints are off now, thanks to Reform, Yaxley-Lennon et al.

The Newsagents podcast is very interesting on the BBC problems. Cui bono indeed.

It is, isn’t it? Good analysis by people with experience of the Beeb from the inside.

This is truly horrendous. What on earth is wrong with these scumbags?

I really do wish SM was more robust in terms of banning these idiots.

There is also Lewis Goodall's substack

Yes, I listened to it this morning and they lay out some of the background figures inside the BBC, the political influence that got them there and the background to the 'independent' report very well.

The media (Murdoch and Paul Marshall etc) have vested interests in bringing the BBC down. Doesnt mean the BBC is perfect (its not and there is plenty to complain about) but there is a concerted effort to demolish it.

This post popped up on my timeline just when that Russia thread went plop

I appreciate it’s not nice to laugh at the bots.
But the Russian thread was v amusing.

Oh, what did I miss?

Just a Bot pretending to be a UK parent, rewriting history and then forgetting they were supposed to be from here.
And lots of discussion about what people were having for dinner. I missed a nice potato recipe.

I have a nice lemon potato one I can share but I missed Pointy's one too

Lemons belong in a G&T. In a curd. And possibly a posset.
Nowhere else.

My musical abilities are significantly exceeded by those of our two sons as well. A cross I have to bear 😁.

Not just me then.

Lemon belongs in almost everythingas far as I am concerned 🍋

Salted caramel on the other hand......

With you on the salted caramel.

Don't tell Jane
