I'm sure they'll be
ok and hope it's kept in Devon where it's started.

Except that it started in Reading, which is in Berkshire...

Hello AnneJ, you always, but always have facts to your fingertips,
does your name begin with Encly...... :-)) Hope everything is o.k.
with you and yours tonight.

Sorry to post off-topic, everyone, but I just need to let well-wishers
know that my grandson still has a fever, and is still on antibiotics...

Early days, Anne. He's young and he's resilient. I do feel so deeply for
you - one of my children had to have a major op of a different sort and I'd
have given anything to have had it for them. Your grandson will get there .

You know, Judith, it occurred to me at a recent school reunion that
so much time was wasted at high school because not one of the teachers
managed to awaken in me a love of learning. That didn't come until
much, much later... I sometimes wonder what percentage of teachers
can actually _teach_ and how many merely regurgitate facts?

Ah - gifted teachers. I was lucky in that I had good English and French
teachers early on but absolutely terrible maths teachers. To this day I
can't do or understand Sudoku - it's another language to me and not one to
which I have the key. But because I had good *early* arithmetic teachers, I
can add up at the speed of light!
