I raise you ear hair. At least you know where nose hair is, ear hair can sprout from anywhere and it's long!

The result was not a shining example of intervention and will be a stain for some years to come, no matter the faults of the previous regime.

In retrospect it was pretty piss poor without much planning for the aftermath. But none of us proles were looking at the evidence they acted on so can't really judge.

Did the Angles and Saxons not come from Germany and Denmark after the Romans who were a mix of all sorts? I see the word indigenous doing a lot of heavy lifting in some circles.

98% fiction, I read for escapism. Although one of my all time favourite reads is On The Origin of Species, so readable.

Ok, I accept that - while Eduroam isnt perfect, it does work well for switched on users. In an FE environment it is challenging, users regularly changing passwords, device types (omg Chromebooks!) a single how to guide is impossible to produce. Plus the expectation it should be as easy as home wifi

The original 80s YTS relied heavily on the manufacturing and hospitality industries. Not much manufacturing left now though and it might compete with apprenticeships.

I would expect this is capital investment, so for renovation, books and shelves. Library software licensing will be revenue as will cost of employing a librarian and will probably have to come out of existing budgets, any librarian would have to be very part time (or dual rolling) as a result.

Are you not expected to attend online conferences as part of your job role? Maybe your line management could kick off about it!

Unusually, I'm a head of IT and LRC (further ed with a bit of higher ed). I'm guessing you are part of the eduroam network. Blame Jisc, not your IT team - eduroam is a bloody nightmare from beginning to end. Plus architects, buildings are never designed for WiFi coverage.
