Random Irritations

Just Labour ? Would it not be fairer to say it’s an attitude displayed by most politicians regardless of the party they represent.

And surely it’s every parents right to do whatever they feel is best for their own children

Agree with the first point regarding politicians Phil; as to your second point they only have that right if they're not telling the rest of us to do something different.
 
Why couldn’t it be three twin girls and one twin boy if they have four children?

Yep. That ones lost me too 🤷🏻‍♂️

As a twin is one of two children born at the same birth, if you have twin girls you have 2 girls; the use of the two is superfluous when used in conjunction with the twin.

If they had two sets of twins, three girls and one boy that would be fine, but by saying you have twin boys or twin girls you have two of them by default.

No, you don’t. You’ve got your language mixed up there.
 
But they didn't have two sets of twins, they had twin girls and twin boys. :rolleyes:

That isn’t right. Even with the language used, that could mean that each pairing was a boy and a girl. The way it was worded doesn’t indicate which pairings were which, only that there are four twins.

Although you must spend every waking minute irritated if that gets you!!
