"Just how mummy used to make it."

Inexcusable description. Should've been deleted in the edit. Writer put on the 'DO NOT HIRE' list.

It's a sad echo of a boy's fondness for their homelife before they were sent to boarding school at six. Mummy wouldn't have made it. Cook or Nanny would have. Gross.

‘til the ignorant got rich.

Now we’ve heard every opinion to ever exist.

Is it time to press the off switch?”

Finally, at the end of the exhausting run, there was a bit of excitement as Mr Wallace himself came into the kitchen. He personally thanked all the chefs before completely blanking the KPs and waiting staff. Put me off him completely.

What a weird article…

All three anonymous writers outline fears about non-private schools that aren’t realised. The kids also seem happier and better off in normal schools.

Going pPrivate is a burden to the parents and all three outline the need for more state school investment. archive.ph/4zz1m

Any idea why is says ‘Invalid handle’? Is it because I’m now partially sighted?

Went to visit Kent’s oldest tree, The Majesty Oak, this morning. It’s been knocking about since at *least* 1554 when Mary I, the first Queen of England, was on the throne.

That’s 50 years after the Wars of the Roses and three before Ian McKellen first performed as Richard II at the Globe. Blimey!
