There is no central point for Rachel to meet the new arrivals, she often has to track them as they turn up in the most unexpected of places. There are numerous cafes she lurks in whilst she is waiting, they are dotted around the city, some in the centre and some surprisingly far out, the …
Great Britain as we know is made up of 4 countries, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each country makes a point of differentiating themselves from their fellow countries – the Welsh and the Scots would never call themselves English so why are they offended by British Airways (sponsors of the England rugby team) wishing …
Twitter shouldn’t be a regular source of things to discuss in my opinion as it can be a toxic place where people treat each other pretty badly. Looking today I see Anne Frank trending, for all the wrong reasons, a person on a game show had cited her as fictional. It doesn’t take a genius …

I feel that often language is abused, both in the sense that words can be used incorrectly but also in the sense that its possible to alienate people by using words they might not necessarily understand.
