A recent newspaper article got me thinking about preserving traditional skills. Commendably, British museums and heritage sites have encouraged the conservation of traditional arts and crafts such as dry stonewalling, thatching, hedge laying... I could go on.
At the same time museums have often been accused of indulging in 'safe' heritage, making the past easy to digest for audiences. The proce...

Ryan Day (Wal) v Matthew Stevens (Wal)
All four quarters cue off today, still best of 25, first to 13, and scheduled to last 3 sessions. That could be in doubt with the first match, as Stephen Maguire thumped fellow scot Stephen Hendry 7-1...
