Nice to see the frames IKEA labels as A3 aren’t actually A3. Serves me right for buying a cheap frame but why label something A3 if the dimensions are not actually A3.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died.
When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison.
There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed.
That’s the kind of woman she was.
