Please please please sign this petition. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/608037 It really matters! Thsi video explains why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlmI4YqHqfw
Multiplication Tables Check Petition An explanation of the rationale for the petition I've started to suspend the multiplication tables check until it's been properly consulted.
Sincere apologies - please forgive me. I recently agreed that a spoof haunted video company could make a video for YouTube in my house. My house is not remotely haunted. I have friends who have claimed to have inexplicable experiences but they have never had them here. It is a home of good karma. I should never have agreed to this. Agreeing to it was a silly decision made in a moment when I was busy which I regret. Please accept my apologies. I'm just trying to pay the bills. I have been contacted by people who are concerned for the mental health of some of the participants and that's a key reason why I regret this decision. If everyone's a spoof artist then that's okay but I would never, ever want to behave in any which which might exacerbate the problems of someone with fragile mental health.
