At school sports day, we had to walk out in our houses to the tune of something not too dissimilar to the Sports Report theme that our head teacher played on a gramophone.
I hasten to underline that this was a primary school built to serve a council estate. Not posh!

Thanks for this.
I know that record well, but I had never seen this video. It's good.
Same here. I can't even remember which house I was in. Just remember someone telling us on our first day and don't think it ever really came up again.

I bumped into Liz Truss at a school open day. It was super awks | Zoe Williams
Truss and I first met in person in 2009, but it was a shock to meet her on a sixth form college tour. I couldn’t work out whether to confront her, take a selfie, or run and hide, writes Zoe Williams
Zoë Williams shites herself having ‘bumped into Liz Truss at a school open day’.

I couldnt even get past the heading to click the link - "I bumped into Liz Truss at a school open day. It was super awks". Ugh.
Has anyone actually ever used the word 'awks'..? Apart from people trying to be down with the kids in the Guardian.

British beer drinkers, face the truth: a pint is too big, a half is too small – all hail the two-thirds measure | Elle Hunt

Zoe Williams must have a big loan to pay off, she's churning out inane opinion columns at greater speed and volume than ever before.

Being human is so complicated – all that doubt, dread and self-loathing. Dogs have a much better time of it. But can I access their world of pure sensation?

I would be very surprised if she wasn't.
From wiki
"Cooper has stated that she is a football fan, and supported Leeds United when she lived in Yorkshire. She is also a supporter of the Conservative Party."

"I certainly wouldn’t say that Australia has a more civilised drinking culture than Britain, or less alcohol-related harm: the sheer range of measures available (a schooner, a pot, a middy, a handle, a glass; some differing by state) speaks to beer’s central importance."
