[Maths-Education] Reader/SL posts at MMU

[Jo Towers]

My apologies to the list for clogging up your inboxes. I did not intend 
my message to be sent to everyone and I tried to intercept it but that 
didn't seem to work (and my apologies if my subsequent message to the 
list moderator also reaches you all!) The original message was simply 
the musing of a displaced Mancunian. I really do think Manchester is a 
great place to live and work, though!
Apologies again,
Jo
