How to keep fit and tackle those grubby worn out carpets
After only one session she dramatically quit. 'Was it too exhausting?' asked Sean. 'Not in the least,' replied his wife. 'It's just that the minute I got down on the floor, I couldn't help noticing how worn out and grubby the carpet is.' Communication breakdown Office politics. A pal of reader Stuart Knight was scolded by his boss, and told to behave in a more professional manner. 'I'm thinking about taking his advice,' said Stuart's pal, 'and ignoring his emails.' Pluralism The Diary has taken on the role of School Inspector, as we scrutinise the many educational establishments in our nation. We hear of a student in one Glasgow school who asked if he could go and pick up his bag from French. His teacher replied: 'Oui.' To which the student replied: 'No, it's just me.' Read more: Wild animals shouldn't be kept as pets. It's like a prison sentence... Mayo a no-no The student son of reader Mark Wilson works part-time as a waiter in a swanky Glasgow restaurant. At the weekend a young chap was sitting at a table with his girlfriend, and when it came time to order, he said: 'Can I have a salad, but without any of that white gunk.' 'Do you mean mayonnaise?' enquired Mark's son. With an exasperated tut, proving that this fellow was a true gourmand, the customer replied: 'That's what I said, didn't I? The white gunk.' And, constant reader, we can happily report that his salad was completely degunkified, as requested. Hitting out A reader recently told us (perhaps a tad facetiously) that her 97-year-old grandma died suddenly and tragically on her birthday… halfway through getting the bumps. Ian Barnett gets in touch with an important query. 'Halfway through the bumps?' he asks. 'Would that have been bump 48 or 49? Diary accuracy is important…' Cold comfort The weather has improved a tad in the last couple of days, with the sun dealing a glancing blow to the surface of Scotland. But on the whole, this has been a wet and woeful June, unlike the sweltering spring we recently enjoyed. With this in mind, reader Brian Wadham gets in touch for a good harrumph. 'To hell with the winter heating allowance,' he says. 'How about a summer heating allowance?' Mum's the word Psychologically astute reader John Mitchell explains: 'A Freudian slip is when you say one thing, but mean your mother… um, I mean 'another'.'

Napoleonic prisoner of war camp buried under field bought from farmer
Norman Cross, the world's first purpose-built prisoner of war camp, was privately owned by a farmer, and has been bought by Nene Park Trust. Located near Peterborough, it contains the remains of around 1,770 French, Dutch and German soldiers captured in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars fought between the French and other European nations. The trust says it wants to preserve the site and make it available to the public as a historic and green space. The camp now lies barely visible under a field used for arable crops and grazing. But it previously held a self-contained town, with barracks, offices, a hospital, school, marketplace and banking system, according to historian Paul Chamberlain. It operated from 1797 to 1814 and housed around 7,000 French prisoners. The location was chosen because it was far from the sea, making it difficult for any escapees to return to France. Prisoners made intricate models from bone, wood and straw to sell at the camp market and trade for food, tobacco and wine. Around 800 of these artefacts, which include miniature ships and chateaus, are on display at the nearby Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery. The trust received £200,000 of grant funding from Historic England and £50,000 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to buy the camp following years of negotiations. Its acquisition was fought for by resident Derek Lopez, who owned the Norman Cross Gallery near Yaxley and was an advocate of Peterborough's history. He died last year before seeing the sale complete. Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said: 'The Norman Cross prisoner of war camp represents a pivotal moment in our shared European heritage that deserves to be better known.' Matthew Bradbury, chief executive of Nene Park Trust, said he was 'delighted' to take on the ownership of Norman Cross and wanted 'to share its green space and unique stories for generations to come'. Heritage minister Baroness Twycross said: 'Norman Cross represents a poignant chapter in our shared European story. 'The remarkable stories of those held in what was the first purpose-built prisoner of war camp should be remembered now and in the future. 'This partnership has secured this valuable heritage site for generations to come.'
