Only just realised it's Ed Balls Day. Have a good one everyone.

A 6th Former emailed me today to check something I told them because it conflicted with a detail in the textbook. I love it when they do that, especially when I'm right (which I was, of course). Irritating to find yet another mistake in the textbook, though.
