She was chosen for her National Trust job by a manager who thought she was the right person for it. I call that 'headhunting' because she was in another job at the time, and had not put in for a new job back then.

Lizzie you can call it what you like. "Headhunting" has a specific meaning in the context of employment and I have explained - patiently - why it has a specific meaning.

You can take the National Trust to court over it, if you so wish, if that will give you some kind of thrill and make you feel like a big chap.

Lizzie - why on earth would I want to do that? I thought possibly, just possibly, that you were using the term in a wrong way. And that using it like that could possibly have legal repercussions. Had someone done that for me I would have been grateful. Especially when they were right. Let me move on.....

ADVANTAGES of Dyslexia

When you did that why did you not include this disclaimer?

We try to make our information as accurate and helpful as possible, but give no guarantee that the information available through this website is accurate or up to date and accept no responsibility for errors or omissions.

When your "kids", as you charmingly call, them were teaching themselves the use of computers and the internet, did you mention anything about the dangers of indiscriminate cutting and pasting of material?

If it irks you deeply that I have wonderful kids, who are thought highly of by other people. Tough shite.

Why on earth would that worry me? I am delighted your children are doing so well, and if, as you tell us - this is the result of your insights into dyslexia, great.

I asked you how you brought up these wonderful young people, because you claim perceptions that many of us don't have. Especially teachers.

You claim insight into musicians and dyslexia and all I want you to do is share these wonderful insights you have with the rest of us.

Which - remarkably in my opinion - you refuse to do. And I happen to think that is a shame that we cannot all benefit from your talents.
