I’m not sure if it’s changed, but the lack of BBC content of YT was disappointing when my kids were younger. They should have treated it like a distribution channel, but they wall gardened stuff off.
Not a silver bullet of course, but I think it would help.

I'm most delighted they spelt Wards correctly and didn't drop the S, or call me Warts or something like that.

But the boys learning to drive 2008 Swift has one and I'm looking forward to taking it home from school run when it's a bit skiddy.

Do you just stand there with your camera out? Like those lads with cameras outside of car shows, but just at the side of a normal road on a normal day?

I was also sunburnt, only one half of my face, and drunk.
I'd spent the afternoon in the beer garden facing east after my last exam of the term at Uni.

I was the age of my eldest when we last qualified. (Where did the time go??)
Sadly my youngest supports England and I’d have to pay money to watch England.

Oh to work for a Danish company. Bloody brilliant.
I was basically the same age as my eldest lad last time we qualified for the World Cup. We just danced around the room.
What a game.

Well that’s the problem then. Coding tools should be used by engineers. Tools are experience amplifiers, AI or not.
There is a good product in here. But a limited one.
