I work with colour a lot (theory, psychology, application, etc) and some years ago remember reading a piece in the BMJ about a medical research project related to colour impairment... I feel sure that the piece said that around 30% of males are either colour 'blind' or have some level colour impairment... I can't for the life of me find any evidence of this study online, so maybe there is new evidence that that takes the % back down to one in ten males... anyone know any thing about this?

Bottom right 1 and 7 or maybe 2?...


On the subject of lefties, there was a boy at my school who was naturally left handed, and he reckoned a doctor said he had developed a stammer because his parents tried to get him to use his right hand/foot when he was younger!..

BBW, I too have been tempted but saw the effects and read too much and saw too many photos. I drew my own conclusions and feel nightmares like that should be left in the past, if possible.


Is the diagram not 58, 18, E and 17?


Agreed Red Devil, never try to change the hand/foot that children use. I think it confuses them.

That happened to my grand-dad. I'm not sure what year he was born, but some time around the turn of the century. I understand that teachers would tie his left hand to his side. Anyway, he stammered all his life because of it, but had a lovely tenor singing voice, without stammer.


Edited to say - sorry for going (and remaining) off topic - I have never chewed gum!

If the first answer is "8" then I got the first two only.


The second, I assume is "10" no idea about the 3rd or 4th one.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
