People who annoy him in the supermarket probably

Man standing in the middle of a living room with 15th century armour on including a nice copy of the Coventry sallet

So today my husband decided that he should try all his armour on..

The article is pretty confusing.

Oh well. #tinyjoys

Scott writes with authority and is clearly an expert on her subject....

It's on offer just now too.

Well now we have to not think about next week

And we did.

Oh my god! Scotland. We may yet do this..

Taken this morning at Newhaven, Edinburgh looking across the firth of Forth to Fife.

The sea this morning

I am beginning my least favourite part of preparing a book. Images ( I have searched all the free sites ) , relevant Scottish images are pretty difficult and generally expensive.

That was a very enjoyable episode.

Also Scotland is completely different but there are no grammar schools in Scotland or Wales for that matter.
NI keeps trying to reform its system.

Research suggests that gifted kids will tend to succeed regardless and kids who only just made it may do less well than they might have elsewhere.

Why are they controversial? Really selective schools tend to dominate the league tables ( advocates for grammar schools never think it's their children that might not get in see also too many people at university).

Today, grammar school should refer to one of the 163 remaining fully selective state-funded schools in England and the 69 remaining in Northern Ireland

More recently, a number of state grammar schools, still retaining their selective intake, gained academy status are thus independent of the LEA Some LEAs retain forms of the Tripartite System and a few grammar schools survive in otherwise comprehensive areas.

Or merged with the secondary modern and became a comprehensive school often keeping the name.

They became part of the system that had secondary moderns ( in some LEAs) technical high school and grammar schools.
When comprehensive schools were introduced in the 1970s in most LEAs in England the grammar school either became a private school ( like Keir Starmer's school)

Originally a school to teach Latin ( hence the grammar) and why pretty much any English town of any size would have one to teach the boys . Obviously over time the curriculum expanded. In the 1940s in England, Wales & NI ( Scotland is different).

Oh amazing. Thank you so much

Thank you so much.

That's it. I don't have access and can't pay the huge amount required for 48 hours

Here's your epi pen now get on with your sats paper ..

Eugh!

?

He's not keen sadly. Too late.

That would be great!

Every time I see that image I get this urge to suggest that my husband does Edinburgh fireman reenactment just so I can make the outfit
