Yes, I had no idea. I knew Makaton was heavily simplified & incompatible with BSL, but I hadn't realised it was commercial. What a missed opportunity to better promote BSL! We do also have BSL children's programming. I used to enjoy Magic Hands when kid was that age. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Magic Hands - Series 2: 1. The Owl and the Pussycat - Signed
Children's sign language poetry series. Ashley and Aimee discover The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear, and My Fancy by Lewis Carroll.

Funny how demonstrating compassion, sharing, generosity, is never seen as preparation for later life, only toughening up.

They seem to have trouble aligning station announcements on the rural bits. Having one bit of the train telling you it's one station behind is less useful!

Is that the train that sometimes had the guy signing the next station on screen?

Especially since we've trained ourselves to ignore headers, adverts, SHOUTY POSTERS ON THE INTERNET, and skip to the content we want.

Nearly everyone in the UK lives further north than at least half the population of Canada does.

But not just the rigidity, it's a point of principle that we don't elect a prime minister, we elect local MPs, and how parliament organises itself can change between elections.

Aaah yes. Giving 1980s snooker vibes, "for those of you watching in black and white, the brown is next to the pink."
