An excellent #job from our friends at Senedd Outreach helping to involve Welsh citizens in the Assembly's work and democratic processes. One for the good eggs out there: http://www.assembly.wales/en/gethome/working/recruitment/jobs/Pages/AC-028-18.aspx

Currently singing ‘He ain’t heavy, he’s my onion’ to The Hollies’ 1969 UK number 3 hit ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’ (which featured a young Elton John on piano - thanks Wikipedia) on account of chopping a fairly light onion while crying
Treating this like a pivotal scene in a war film NO APPLE LEFT BEHIND
