What do you mean enathedragon that does video doesn't make sense, it makes perfect sense to me.

I only hope that someone has informed the teachers of Daniels dificulties and that they should go easy on him for forgetting his homework and that they should concider his difficulties and work with him and I hope they have also sorted the bullies out too.

Good luck Daniel.

thank you. I would be very pleased to see them. I am beginning to wonder if some of the young people I work with might be inspired to have a go. best wishes, Nigel.
