On the news this morning.
Suggested changes to the curriculum include teaching cookery. When was it removed? Younger Son did it and that was only 6/7 years ago.
A survey has found that the public's perception of Islam has been adversely affected by the recent failed bombings in London and Glasgow. Well, d'uh. And people get paid to find that out.

and to top it all, our new PM has decided we need ANOTHER quarter million new homes that will eat up more of our lovely countryside, cause even more flooding, use up more of our scarce resources and of course the youngsters will not be able to afford them!
Has anyone wondered why we need them? Perhaps it is because unlike the remainder of our EU neighbours we don't say NO to anyone that wants to come in and claim benefits to use the houses that our youngsters could afford.
My son is in mid A levels now - when we looked around his school when he was in Year 6 (2001) there was a kitchen. It went asap and he has never done cookery at school.
My 15 year old son ..does cookery Gcse so some schools still do it
Food technology has become more about designing the packaging for a beefburger, & costing out the operation, rather than actually making a nutricious burger. Or so it was when Son No2 was at school. How could they have made something as fundamental to life as cookery so complicated and so unlikely to keep a person well-fed?
Well, it bacame "home economics" at some point, Liz. I'm with Shirl on this!
