A gem from today's programme. In a recent survey a significant proportion of Brits thought 'biodiversity' was the name of a washing powder.
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

Crikey, you couldn't make it up, could you? A friend's son overheard a conversation on biodiversity and thought she was talking about  'Diversity'  who, it turns out, are a dance troupe who won a TV contest a few years ago.
