This is really sad

I used to love University Challenge back in the Bamber Gascoigne days (yes, I know, dates me a bit) and, as a school girl (take those dates off) would dream of participating. Didn't happen, of course, and I have not seen the programme for many years - the penalties of not having a TV set. But having a winning team with a participant who is no longer a student does make one sigh with despair. Which bit of "this is University Challenge" didn't these ultra-bright people understand?

Yes and, sadly, even Uni examiners are cheating nowadays.

Helen, Please will you write the mission statement of the Anglosphere, vis a vis Europe? Perhaps along these lines:

Since Europeans want their freedom now:

It is one of those things we must all turn our attention to so I shall try to do so, Alan. Don't know about vis-a-vis Europe, though.
