Ret primary teacher, gardening, pro EU, here mainly for books, trees and musing/ranting about #TheArchers.
And a big secondary school would normally employ a cleaning company to do a deep clean in the holidays, not use midday assistants who wouldn’t be appropriately trained in the use of protective gear and cleaning chemicals. And certainly not when the school was occupied. #TheArchers
Unlikely to be cleaning chemicals as the school risk assessment would insist on heavy duty gloves being worn. #TheArchers

I had a very unsettling dream last night. I went into a shoe shop and was sold a pair of lovely, burgundy, ankle boots by Donald Trump. Then I left without paying. Please send help!

Perhaps Ed will collapse in a few days (blood clot on the brain) get hospitalised, touch and go situation, then George’s guilt will cause him to fess up.
I know… I’m living in cloud cuckoo land! #TheArchers

I suspect George’s love for Amber is purely down to ‘great sex’ (as he reported to poor Brad). As far as we know she’s his first relationship and he’s not coping with her being anything other than compliant.
And another thing, Angus Stobie plays him brilliantly!

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Another thing that’s annoying me about last night’s ep (and there were many annoyances)…
Afternoon Tea at the Blackpool Tower ballroom always features music played on the theatre organ. It’s part of the experience. Last night we heard a romantic orchestra. #TheArchers

Johnson spent years charming, bluffing, and backstabbing his way to the top.
Positioning himself as a latter-day Churchill when the moment came and leadership was desperately needed, he showed us who he was...
And thousands died.
