Right, so when girls don’t do as well as boys for oh, one hundred years, there’s no real urgency, but let the boys slip behind just once and the whole system needs to be changed.
Some of the shops on
Some of the shops on Kilburn High Road have amazing names. I particularly like the shop called “Raving World” (which also bears the legend, ‘Local Chaps Club Wear’), especially as it’s neither.
Just for Amber, it’s “Classy Chicks“.
