The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

How would women know if there's a male person in their toilets? By using their eyes.

Any #skystorians on here familiar with the life and work of the communist poet and International Brigader Miles Tomalin? I'm trying to find out if he's the same Miles Tomalin that was writing documentary film scripts in the 1950s.
