Now 96yrs old, my grandad was a teen when he joined the British Indian Army. He fought in WW2, saw some of his friends die on the front line. The ones tht survived never recovered from PTSD. We can never forget, because those who fought for our freedom, never will.

Happy Vaisakhi to my Sikh friends ❤ I'm missing the Vaisakhi parade in Bradford esp the food 😋 but next year! Also how nice that Vaisakhi and Ramadan have fallen around the same time this year 🙏🏽

Did you know around 150 languages are spoken in Bradford - well this month, a campaign has been launched to celebrate all the different languages spoken in the city I’ve spent the day at Bowling Park Primary - where 75% of students speak English as a 2nd language @BBCLookNorth

I just told a group of young lads smoking weed in the field at the back of my house, that if they didn't go home or stop effing & blinding, I'd tell their mothers what they were upto. They actually listened! I feel like a proper desi auntie now 😂 The old threat still works 👊🏾
