In the same vein many people feel that apprenticeships are an excellent alternative to University for other people’s children.

I remember being taught about both. Would love a Your Dead to Me about women’s sufferage in the UK in general and who should really get to claim what percentage of the credit.

I do find it weird how most of my live suggestions are people selling stuff. We’ve gone back around to market stalls but virtual.
