I'm a bit confused about the roles...Mummy Pig works on her computer sometimes - but it always looks like she is writing a letter, rather than studying or working freelance (though how you would convey that...?!). As a mother who often works at home, perhaps I am analysing this aspect of things too much, though!!!

Try letting pre-schoolers watch Peppa Pig on BBC Alba, in Gaelic, and then keep your distance, but secretly listen to them rationalise what's going on. V funny. And not at all sexist.


Also they tire of it v quickly.


I'm trying not to ban anything for fear of creating whatever is the pre-school mentality's equivalent of martyrs.

Back to Peppa - it is a bunch of cartoon pigs running around in clothes and living in a house. It is so far removed from reality that I find it difficult to take its story lines and character development seriously or as a reflection on modern life. You need a big pinch of salt - preferably on the crackling!


Kids learn their attitudes to others from the real people around them.


That all sounds v serious and its not meant to - Peppa is just frivolous, take it or leave it.

    • Another happy customer. Would recommend Lucasz. Good quality work and reasonable rate
    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
