    With the longsince demise of serialism, I don't think people are intuitively at ease with 12-note organisation, hence the old adage "As dead as a dodecaphonist" ...or whatever the expression was.

              Sadly this seems to be an obsession with politicians of all stripes, not just the conservatives









              It seems that all politicians' PR advisors have decided that no statement can be made without the backdrop of the national (and EU for those who are still members) flag.

                        You should only need numbers 1-9 in a standard Sudoku.

                        Anyway, there's no need for anyone to get crotchety over this.
