Grandma70s you remind me of all those people on GN who constantly castigate the Daily Mail, when it is absolutely clear to any reader of the paper, that they clearly never read it and haven't looked at a copy for about 20 years.
I loved last nights opening programme. In all the years I have watchedthe programme, it is the first time I have seem Patrick and Esme almost weeping with laughter and holding each other up for support. Nor have I seen so many disasters, not just in sewing, but infelicitous matching of fabrics and garments. Even DH sat beside me and watched it and enjoyed it - and actually made some informed comments!
