I was annoyed by the results show dance on #Strictly. The idea that all women did during the war was chores left by the absence of men! Remembrance Sunday is about ALL those who fell in wars since 1914. Women died in action too, even back in WW1. Ignorance is bliss with the BBC.

@Richard_Vixen @InZ193 As a teacher of 27 years, I can assure you that boys and girls enjoy reading similar stuff. Leave them to decide. To encourage in EITHER direction is sexist.

[DBBell @DBBell65]

@InZ193 @Richard_Vixen I agree with this completely. You are spot on. So many people are seeing mysoginy where it isn't. The truth is that girls and boys enjoy reading pretty much the same thing, and we should leave them to choose what they want to read, no direction at all.

@HJames_Writes Peanut butter cheesecake sounds divine. We don't see them where we live.

@RyanRaeHarbuck The mouthed words 'Not yet' appear in my second book. Completely different meaning, but powerful nonetheless.

@ANILAWHITNEY Beautifully done. Ban portable screens for under 8s and encourage this instead. It's what we did with our son, before screens were a thing.

@sharon_wisner Sadly, I suspect the number of celebs who feel fame allows them to be evil will be huge. Let's hope the rest are found out too.

@daveainsworth63 @TalkingPicsTV I've never seen this. Is it still available to your knowledge?

[DBBell @DBBell65]

@CatArthurian Bizarre and arrogant beyond belief.

[DBBell @DBBell65]

@Antigone441441 Brilliant!

[DBBell @DBBell65]

@R_R_Hutchinson It might taste good, but the labelling is tacky, at best.

@ColinSpenc4257 Try replying to an American criticising the way English people pronounce or spell their own language. You'll feel true venom.

@Arth_Vishwa New books always.

@Osgoodnb1 They wait until they want a change. Scott Mills is an obvious example. They knew about the allegations for almost 10 years. On the other hand, should they take action on accusations alone? I'm not suggesting the victims are lying, just that evidence is needed. Suspension first?

[DBBell @DBBell65]

@WizardSci Best wishes mate.

@IlseTemple A bus had stopped and the driver was on the phone. Trouble maker on the bus. I pointed out that years ago a burley coal miner would have sorted him out. Driver replied he couldn't now because of cameras on the bus. 'You misunderstand,' I said. 'He'dhave been applauded back then!'

@ANILAWHITNEY I can't believe France is that far down! I suppose it depends on the definitions of quality of life.

[DBBell @DBBell65]

@SandraW70403194 I had some awful responses to my replies to that horrible post telling us the British spelling of plough is UGLY. Good on you for taking action on those who abuse you and this platform. I'll leave mine open, just to see what happens next...

@KyleLeeWriter I tried ketchup on eggs a few times. It's overrated.

[DBBell @DBBell65]

@ClaireLLLW81 Always.
