Numeracy and literacy is...

So this is the last photo post before I return from holiday. Tomorrow it's back to the opinionated ramblings and bizarre product reviews!

Anyway, I took this snap in Sutton, rather furtively in case the nice men promoting the courses took exception.



"Numeracy and literacy is..."? Is that the sort of numeracy that enables you to count the number of subjects in a clause, and the sort of literacy that enables you to achieve subject-verb agreement?

Well, it made me laugh.

Our mag: par for the course

The magazine that Apus and I work for, like many magazines, has a column that lists events and courses. In the column this week, one company is offering a "five-day initial course" in a particular subject, as well as a "six-day refresher course" - in the same subject!

So it takes five days to learn, and six days to be reminded of it when you've forgotten it...
