I did an ancestry one recently, it was rather fun! Can’t compare to 23&me though as haven’t done it. I’m American and as the Americans are very into family history, my family tree back to the 1600s had pretty much already been mapped out for me by other members. I think it uses AI to suggest potential/probable ancestors as you work your way back through time, based on what other people have already added. It was also interesting seeing my genetic breakdown, despite both parents being American I am apparently 80% English. Have fun!

I did the Ancestry one and found what I thought was a long-lost relative in a far away country. I was very excited until I found out my 101-year-old grandma knew about it all along and had never thought of telling us. LOL. I didn’t try the other one. Good luck with whatever you choose!

If you're doing it for family tree research, Peter Calver of LostCousins strongly recommends Ancestry as the most useful one -- a larger database, and, particularly, its useful software tools for getting at the information therein. https://www.lostcousins.com/newsletters2/jun23news.htm#Masterclass

      And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.

      Dancersize or other middle aged womens' exercise groups

      By Slinkissimo · Posted

      Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!

      I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
