It's a thing we can't deny*

"nine million bicycles in Beijing"
has a certain ring to it;
"26 million out of work in China"
sounds a much bumpier ride.

A Good Childhood Report?

On the BBC this morning: "The aggressive pursuit of personal success by adults is now the greatest threat to British children, a major independent report on childhood says".

This major independent report will be published this week by The Children' Society.

The full title of The Children's Society is The Church of England Children's Society.

Full details here.

Also interesting that "The Good Childhood" is a registered trademark of The Children's Society - sorry, The Church of England's Children's Society.

It will be interesting to see what is in the above report.
