Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8-1-2022: Stephen Hawking

8th January, 2022.


Yayness!

It’s Saturday!

Which means I’ve got to try and pick up some paperwork from my GPs,

And see if a repeat prescription’s in.

Here’s hoping it’s not raining … !

Oh … I’ve just had a look at the BBC’s website.

Apparently, the building that used to be the local branch of Dorothy Perkins*?


Is going to be turned into a branch of Tescos.

Whether’s that a good or bad thing, is a whole other idea.

But at least it’s an alternative to Sainsbury’s.

Oh, as one last thing … ?

Do you remember a TV show called Grange Hill … ?   It was aimed at children, and huge, when I was growing up.

And famously controversial.

After all, it saw teenage pregnancies, bullying, racist pupils, activist pupils, and at least one teacher/pupil affair.

And had one heroin addicted character — Zammo, played by Lee McDonald — ending up licking spilt heroin from the floor, after stealing from his friends.

All this … ?

Is due to be revived as a film in 2023.

I might just have to keep an eye peeled.
