Margaret Thatcher was once listed as a fictitious character on Wikipedia, and it was 6 weeks before it was corrected.

On these couple of comments and having a day off today (due to bad weather) I have watched both on iPlayer. Whilst I found them both very entertaining and also informative, I do have a couple of issues.

I found them a little too PC when it came to apprenticeships, focusing on the ethnic minority and female rather than having more of a balance that I'm sure there is in the workplace. And then some of the terminology used for both programs that was either incorrect or confusing.

To stress though they are only small issues. Overall a much better program than any of the free channels could have come up with and very enjoyable. If only they would scrap Eastenders so they could make more stuff like this.

The emphasis on the ethnic and female were probably to show that it is not a white male working class trade today.

As for Eastenders it has a demographic that doe snot include me, but then without the viewers and licence fee then programs like "How to make a ..." would not be made.

Sounds like you need to get to Specsavers, looks like she got hit with a botched plastic surgery stick and ugly stick at the same time....

That's a Merc. BMW and Merc drivers don't like to share parking spaces in my experience. Or turn signals.

Do you mean gastritis?
Gastroenteritis is basically diarrhoea and vomiting. Gastro bit meaning stomach and represents vomiting. Enteritis bit represents small bowel and leads to diarrhoea. Can be cause by bacteria but also viruses.

Gastritis can lead to ulcers. Gastroenteritis tends not to (never come across a case yet).

Bit harsh that. She was pretty when she was younger, before the plastic surgery and before she became a serial rock musician marryer. Now though.., yeesh, put it away love. Plus there are things a 40 year old mother of two should not be doing or wearing, regardless of how well the years have treated you.
