Whatever next?

I thought it was a piece about ‘The Glitter Band’.

The Glitter Band backed (ooh err missus) GG on a few of his early records (the best being ‘Rock and Roll Part 2’ in my view), but then became a stand-alone act; nothing to do with him.

‘Gary Glitter’ and ‘nurseries’ in the same sentence would indeed be a concern.

"The majority of microplastics that get into the sea come from personal care products, household cleaners, tyre wear and other sources," she said.

Oh well, personal care products, household cleaners etc etc will all be banned at some stage.

watch a documentary about the amount of plastic in the ocean and you might understand the nursery manager's pov. I don't think it's a bad thing that children are brought up mindful of waste and pollution. [Link]

There are plenty of other things that kids can stick together to make crap artwork for the fridge door.

Probably this will be banned as well due to parts of the ball getting easily detached and polluting the atmosphere and affecting sealife.

When my girls were at primary school, the head banned the use of toilet roll inserts in junk modelling. The Pre-school then followed suit. I queried this and was told it was for hygiene reasons. I asked how many children in the UK had ever become ill or had died from the use of toilet roll inserts in school activity, but I still await a reply!

I accept that there is a risk of a nasty cardboard cut.
