@hazelshearing I don't remember any spitting or chair throwing in your classes, Hazel - although there was occasionally some expletives in the prep room!

@Bookish_Becky Hey .... Daphne gets a mention! (that will go down well @fowey_festival !) - although a Manor house could also be @liz_fenwick ?

@Bookish_Becky Really enjoying it. Instantly recognisable as a Becky Hunter story!

@mrsjmasters Poor Q. High temp could cause loss of cell turgidity leading to stomatal closure. This would cause carbon fixation to stop due to lack of carbon dioxide entering cells.

@mrsjmasters "It's a plateau and there's no water on a plateau - it's dry up there"

[Steven Thomas @xchmadhouse]

@mrsjmasters C = carbon, and D = dioxide
