@Legacy411 Yes, I used one of these each morning to open my classroom windows in my early teaching days from 1971.

Finally, something I'm not old enough to remember. 😅
Any of you remember this?

Men A+C vaccine for babies since 1999. Men B vaccine for babies since 2015. Decision taken in 2014 to not vaccinate adolescents for Men B in grounds of cost effectiveness+doubts about effectiveness of vaccine. Therefore there’s an ‘immunity gap’ for those born before 2015 ie 11+.

@MumofFatCassie I can recommend applying a used tea bag to the sore eye. Make tea as usual. Drink it if you want and then place the cooled tea bag over the closed eye. Leave it there for half an hour or so.
English
I've got a very painful, infected and swollen stye on my lower eyelid. After putting caster oil on the swollen bits under my eye last night I'm now going to the park to get some lemon balm to make a poultice.
I was probably burned at the stake or dunked about 600 years ago.

@siobhanworld I was 15 in 1965 and had a Saturday job in the Kings Rd, Chelsea United Dairies directly opposite Mary Quant’s Bazaar. I earned 15 shillings. After a few months I moved to Timothy Whites at the other end of the road and I then earned 25 shillings. Was there for yrs.
English
As a teenager, I had a Saturday job at Dolcis. I was only paid like 60p an hour. I’d give some money to mum and then spend the rest on alcohol and clubbing. My feet used to really ache after standing up for 8 hours solid but it didn’t stop me dancing.
Follow me for more post menopausal nostalgia!

@Amelia558rs I use a paper calendar on the kitchen wall as well as the calendar in my tablet. Belt and braces approach.

A man known for animal abuse with a spaniel bred for extreme features that’ll lead to health issues has won Best In Show in @Crufts. This is disgraceful, poor dogs. Please do better and stop popularising these breeds #Crufts2026 !
Blue Cross UK@The_Blue_Cross
We are saddened to see that #Crufts 2026 Best in Show has been awarded to Bruin, a Clumber Spaniel with extremely exaggerated features. 💔 1/4 bbc.com/news/articles/…

This year's Crufts Best in Show winner Lee Cox was convicted of animal cruelty over 20 years ago, with angry dog owners speaking out following his win.
Why is everyone surprised? Crufts is all about breeders making money from the success of the dog they show. 😡

@MichaelRosenYes @DrAnnieHickox @WingsEcosse @SzqSue After I retired, I went back part-time as a support teacher and then as a volunteer in Early Years. Staff realised that children hardly knew any nursery rhymes so I made a point of teaching some of these to sm. groups and whole classes. We used percussion to accompany singing.
English
@DrAnnieHickox @WingsEcosse @SzqSue In the olden days, people taught their very young children nursery rhymes (to be sung and chanted off by heart) and the Lord's Prayer (I'm not religious) and these helped them to learn to read.

Millions of us all over the world read enjoyable books with their babies, toddlers and under-5s and our youngsters 'appreciate' it, and many start to be able to read for themselves at the same time.

Teaching reading for pleasure is like teaching driving for pleasure. If you can’t drive, it’s no fun at all. Function precedes appreciation, and competence precedes confidence.
English
@MichaelRosenYes If Ofsted’s stated target is to cancel reading for pleasure, they have already achieved this. Over the years their progress in this area has been remarkable.
English
So all the millions who've sat reading 'Dear Zoo' and 'The Gruffalo' with their pre-readers don't realise that their pre-schoolers should really be waiting till they're taught how to read before they 'appreciate' the books. Lols.

@SwailesRuth Exactly so, Ruth! Maybe they should check the adults too ! Saw some odd claw grips and other “incorrect” usage from a few teachers! Hope all Ofsted inspectors have developed the skill that they are expecting the EY children to demonstrate.
English
Please, can we ensure that people who inspect Early Years have a secure understanding of human development and direct experience of working with under 5s. No one who has worked with under 5s would expect a correct tripod grip for all children aged 2-4.

Help me out: I need a highly specific, aggressively masculine name for a tiny Chihuahua puppy. Nothing cute.
I'm desperate.

@angelab2711 Just read that scans weren’t routine until the early 90s.
English
I was born in '74,my mum said she was never offered a scan with me,seeing as the series 15 of #callthemidwife was set in '71,I wonder when ultrasounds become standard practice?

@karenfthompson I used to like the paella one. Went on a camping trip overland to Greece in 72. Twelve of us in a Transit van. We had to take Vesta meals with us as we cooked them up on alternate nights. Other evenings we ate out!
English
Twits of a certain age,
Who remembers these culinary delights that we all enjoyed on a Saturday night in the 60s and 70s?
Which one was your favourite?
My mother absolutely adored the chow mein..
With a glass of Blue Nun .. 😀

Here's our 🎶 parody version of Barry McGuire's 1965 "Eve of Destruction" that we've modernised to turn to current US adventurism. We're calling it: "Grief and Destruction" 🚀
