[SENco-forum] Omega 3 study results

And those who were dyslexic 'sat at the back and did

I can't remember the title, but it was the Victoria Wood play in which her
character met up with her long-lost sister, now a famous television
celebrity [played by Julie Walters].  The line was said by Thora Hird, who
played VW's boyfriend's mother:

  "In my day, we didn't have dyslexia; we had children who sat at the back
and did raffia."

How sad that I can remember all that - but it is a wonderful play and I've
watched it each time it was repeated.

Hope this helps the recovery process.  Hope everything went OK, too.

Regards

Jean
