Nice People Thread Part 9 - and so it continues

Been watching Educating Yorkshire on 4od. Because of the way the young people (11-16) talk on camera, it has a "strong language" and says it isn't suitable for viewers under the age of 16. Hmmm....

Been there, done it.

I once did the most amazing geography project on house prices. DS2 walked round St Albans on an official geography field trip. The field trip involved catagorising the streets and popping in to estate agents and picking up details of properties for sale. The data then had to be analysed and a report written. I got 90%.

Congratulations - are there websites where you can now sell on your efforts to other students looking for a shortcut to a geography project? A nice analysis would be correlation between prices of physically similar properties depending on school catchment area....

PS did I tell all the NP I know of a 4 bed detached property to rent in the Beaumont School catchment area, move in before 30th October (closing date for school applications)?

I bought a bramley a come of years ago at lidl. I don't know what the dickens it is, but it isn't a bramley. Its got huge, healthy cooking looking apples on it this year. But they are red.

We'll see if its any good when they are ready. I thought it was a bit suspect when it got a fruit last year, because we hadn't bought pollinators for it, and while I don't know what our apples are, and there is an orchard close enough for pollinators to cross pollinate the luck of having the right trees for a fussy triploid pollinator seemed to good to be true!

There was something on the telly recently about apple trees (it was on, I wasn't watching it) - and I remember they said something about an apple variety being unique or something... not sure what he said now, really, but it did say something about a variety only existing if ... er ... something or other.



I do remember they said something about it

Wonder how many of the NPs might enjoy this slightly surreal little music video.

Is James the only nice teen off to uni for the first time this year? He's done so well. I hope you let us know how he's doing often Sue..

Good luck to James; you'll miss him!
DD starts her Masters degree in London in a week but is already living there. DS goes back to Kent for his final undergrad year some time this week - he has been at home since end May, which seems a very long time.
My food bills and the washing mountain will both reduce dramatically next week!
