..I just read that as 'knitted out' their computer suites, Ruby..I was thinking how inventive and clever that was....(it's because I was having a knitting (ish) conversation with someone at the time..)...mind you, we've sat with our coats on at school/no heating many, many times and we're not an academy school....

...awww, don't feel awkward Nicky, I wouldn't know how the education system in The Netherlands fully works or in many other countries either...academies aren't new as such but they're on the rise atm so we're all pretty much in the learning stage with them....
