Lemongrove Chief Mammy was coined by a young man who had been brought up in care ,she chatted to him ,supported him helped through his uni course and went to his Graduation.When she couldn't have an after grad lunch she invited him and his friends for a special lunch another day .HE and a lot of the other care experienced youngsters called her The Chief Mammy ...

I’m not usually a fan of Nicola Sturgeon but I do think that she has handled this pandemic really well. She isn’t afraid to make a decision and lays out really clearly the reasoning behind it. Good communication from her.

I can’t decide whether it’s biba70 or paddyanne which is Alex Salmond’s Gransnet ‘pen name’.

On second thoughts, probably neither.....

In general l am no fan of Nicola Sturgeon but during this crisis she has shown true leadership. I only wish our leaders in England were as decisive as her.

DH greatly disliked the Scottish accent and particularly women with Scottish accents. However for some reason he really liked Nicola. I presume speaking sense overcame the accent.

Well, she is the self styled Chief Mammy!
She is certainly ‘clear’ and doesn’t waffle but as far as I am concerned her talents end there.
Other views are available ?

ah thanks, lovely to chat.

She is a very good communicator.

Riverwalk Mon 04-Jan-21 19:32:32

I've just watched her being interviewed on Channel 4 News - she is so articulate, precise, doesn't waffle and not one hum, haw or err.

Lucca but not Dominic Cummings !!

cue...SNP BAD....she does things first to show up boris etc etc etc .
I'm a fan though, and I felt sorry for her today having to carry on after the loss of her dear friends and mentor Kay Ullrich ,One thing she does is face the music day after day after day and takes the flack from a variety of unionist presstitutes ,she is a strong woman and she has a huge support from the people of Scotland...cue someone will tell you I'm wrong!

Indeed, Biba, Mark Drakeford, Wales Labour leader could sit at her feet and learn some lessons.....

Lucca Mon 04-Jan-21 19:27:31

Breaking news. Margaret Ferrier has been charged by the police

Lucca Mon 04-Jan-21 19:26:59

Speaking knowledgeably and clearly
