54. Oliver, no fan of political correctness, has hit back at reports he's been banned from the British town Rotherham – filming location for the celebrity chef's Ministry of Food . Talk of a ban surfaced when residents of Rotherham accused Oliver of portraying them as "dumbos" and "numpties". Oliver says the ban is "bollocks" and that he's been targeted by a minority of locals who see his show as an Oliver "vanity project" rather than a genuine campaign to help people whose diets are so appalling that they're eating themselves to death. A Rotherham local, former chef Alan Dale, says: "My message to Jamie is to stay away. Feelings are running high because he has made us look like complete idiots."

83. Assessment What can you explain in a text message ?

84. A YPG curriculum will : – be planned through dialogue: between teachers, young people, teacher educators and academic geographers – draw from young people's everyday experiences – extend the way that young people are involved in, and can directly influence, the curriculum – emphasise dialogic pedagogies – enable young people to use their capacity to think geographically when encountering the world
