When Cyril said he had a boat, Muriel was expecting a yacht in the Côte d’Azur, not a leaky tub in the English Channel.

Furious that Hebe decided to ‘stay at home with a book’ instead of going to the Rave, Cynthia fostered malevolent thoughts about planting the butter knife in indecent places…

The day job got me thinking about the history of prisons, especially during the Great War. So I thought I’d do some secondary reading
(which also means I’m putting off finishing my 2 upcoming papers)

A quick search throws up a few bits and pieces on prisons and prisoners during the First World War, but not much, if anyone has any suggestions I’d be grateful.

Vanessa is the name of the Doctor! @hpsvanessa.bsky.social · 28d
has anyone done a #histmed or #histSTM study of changes to representations of health/medicine/science in the ladybird books?
On a small scale feels like an amazing ug diss project, or even something smaller than that with just a few books.

Old Ladybird books updated.

‘Visiting days’ (1963) and ‘Visiting hours’ (1985).

Hubert would quickly realise that “I say! What an impressive bustle! Your b*m does indeed look big in it!” was not the correct way to engage ladies in conversation.

In this week’s episode of ‘Saving Lives at Sea’, we see what happens when the Slack sisters scarf 3 bottles of vodka and go out for a spot of painting on the cliffs…
