Martha is 4. If she were 6 she’d be in Year 1 or 2. Reception is an odd year legally in that a child must be educated only from the term after s/he becomes 5. Alice could take her away for a week without legal repercussions. However, there might well be educational ones which is what worries her.

Well of course he has, you don’t expect him to use something bought specially for him, surely

My papa (elderly Mr Bennet), responding to Winifred on #R4 #YouAndYours claiming phone boxes used to smell of cigarettes: “No they didn’t, they smelt of piss! It was the *toilets* that smelt of cigarettes!”

Remembering Aberfan today

This is the little clock that sat on a teacher’s desk at Pantglas Junior School, Aberfan. It stopped for ever at 09:13 on 21st October 1966 when an unstable coal tip engulfed the school. 116 children and 28 adults were killed.

It’ll be a win for the patriarchy. Myson will always trump a daughter.

I too made rock buns in home economics in 1981 and the results were such that I was made to promise *never* to repeat the exercise

He did, that was well dodgy

Eliza Bennet @elizabennet.bsky.social · 2d

For everything, yes. But she‘s also the most sensible and has proved this by hopping off to Hungary and staying there.

I don’t think Adam’s been working on the farm for that long, he was away in Africa for much of it. But he still has way more experience and right than Ruairi who is an agricultural duffer.

This week’s #TheArchers has been largely bollocks but I would just like to agree with Akram that milking cows (by hand at least) is a very peaceful activity, it has been many decades since I milked a cow but honestly I don’t think I’ve known that level of calm since

He seems lovely! But it would be fine if they dressed him fully one week, just for novelty value

Where we used to live everyone put their lights up for Diwali and then left them up for Christmas, I loved that

I think I’d have stropped off too, it’s insane expecting them to work with George

Tracy: I’m actually related to George and I still can’t stand him #TheArchers
