Richard III

And in other news today, the almost indescribably exciting news that the skeleton found in a Leicester car park is that of Richard III, complete with hunchback. The wonders of DNA testing. And André Cassagnes, the inventor of the Etch A Sketch - the must-have toy for the pre-ipad generation - has died at the age of 86. (Well, I always wanted one and never did get one - did get a Spirograph one year though - that was top.)

Shame.you could have impressed us all!! Still a very clever idea............exciting about Richard though!!

Had a Spirograph which was great, sadly I couldn't get on with the Etch A Sketch. Watched the documentary last night about Richard III, looks like a piece of history has to be re-written.

I always wanted an Etch A Sketch too but I'm now having fun using the one I bought my grandsons.
