Centurion

And knickers to QI or whoever it was who  said a centurion was in charge of 80-odd men. Pah! Next they'll be saying 'decimate' means reduce by an eighth.... no, hang on, reduce by a fifth .... or something . This post will be more rushed than usual, but still:
 

The quick news is.

V5.0 is dead, long live V5.1. 

Well, not  l o n g; it's in fact going to be the most short-lived of WVGT releases, as I'm taking it off the market on Friday. It'll be free as soon as Amazon can manage it – 00.00 PST approx.

Freebies (Teaching resources:  over 34,100 views**  and  4,700 downloads to date. They're very eclectic - mostly EFL and MFL, but one of the most popular is from KS4 History, dating from my PGCE, with 1637 views/740 downloads to date. So it's worth having a browse.)
