Hello Miss Shah! No, I cannot speak for others but I at least was not in the slightest way offended by your absence.
I was surprised to see this particular Scottish Nationalist omitted from your smart new signature collage (very neat work, by the way - did you use sticky-back plastic?) of wimmin in power:
Perhaps Mrs Spurgeon isn't quite as much in control as she would have you believe? Still - three cheers for good old Covid-Maggie Ferrier! That was a brave attempt to wipe out the denizens of the Houses of Parliament. I'm sure we all cheered her on, but maybe she shouldn't have taken those five-and-a-half hour train rides there and back?
(By the way, that photo made me wonder if there's a problem with dentistry in Scotland - more than usual, I mean - or is it just a toothpaste shortage? If the latter, we can send supplies.)
