There’s a lovely plaque dedicated to her on the wall of Epsom cottage hospital, which treated her after the derby.

We’re trying, but it’s looking unlikely - it’s so bizarre, people would rather sacrifice free-at-point-of-use healthcare, state pensions, and safe policing in order to make a point about the ‘lazy’ poor by forcing them into food banks and taking away their free school lunches. I think we should lose our ‘developed’…
In the midst of all the horrible news this morning, you’ve both made this Londoner laugh again. Thanks guys :-) (ps - I prefer my scones with just butter, sacrilege!)
I had no idea they aren’t allowed to call it bake off! Does the OTT British innuendo translate well in the US (buns, soggy bottoms etc), or do they cut that as well?
Sadly we do have cases in the UK where patients have been unknowingly put on ‘care pathways’, and it’s been decided for them that they are no longer treatable with anything but palliative care. Including some non-terminal people who were put on those pathways by mistake and nearly killed in hospital. But that care is…
Same!! None of mine have any more than two kids each yet somehow can’t leave them for more than a couple of hours. My parents would get a babysitter, but suggest that to my friends now & they look at you like you’ve suggested leaving them at the side of the road or something!
Please don’t, we don’t want him back either...
Harvest Festival was the most fun we could have at our Catholic school - apart from Christingle where every year at least one girl’s long hair would catch fire :-)
So sorry to hear about your dad.. I’m not from the U.S. but the lack of paid leave for something like that seems just so cruel at the worst possible time xx
I’m not sure as it’s the first time I’m seeing the numbers you quoted, but 15.5% seems pretty out there. My course was 2nd in the UK the year I graduated (behind Cambridge in fact) but I can only think of 1 person I knew in my classes who actually got a first degree, most got 2:1/2:2s. I graduated in the same year as…
That rings true with my experience - I had one American professor for my poetry class and there was a clear difference in teaching style. She treated us more like we were in high school; we got in trouble if we didn’t show for lectures, she set many more smaller pieces of work to be handed in weekly, and it felt very…
Playboy sophistication... oxymoron of the day!
I don’t know anything about US Universities so I can’t comment on those, but in the UK the cohort of students achieving a first is incredibly small to begin with. Add to that the sheer competition to even get into Cambridge from all over the world, that these kids are already leagues ahead of their peers before…
Cambridge is the 4th ranked university in the world. A double first at Cambridge is quite a long way from being a ‘B’ grade...
100 times this! I have both oily skin and scarring but a thin buildable layer sorts me for at least 8 hours without smearing or disappearing!
