This diverges from what is now known of the canonical Mrs Smith-Rhodes. However, her role as Domestic Science Mistress has been given, in the fanfic AU, to [http://pterryfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Joan_Sanderson-Reeves another far more qualified and suitable person], which frees up Miss Smith-Rhodes in this alternative universe to take on a wholly different (and acclaimed as far more plausible) body, nationality and temerament.  End of shameless self-promotion.

I believe the sources of {{wp|Rhodes_Scholarship|Rhodes scholars}} are too limited here and their destination not limited enough. Kris Kristofferson and Bill Clinton were Rhodes scholars; Wikipedia and I are fairly sure they only go to Oxford. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 00:51, 29 November 2011 (CET)

Latest revision as of 13:02, 27 July 2017

for those dissappointed by the lack of an authorised tale, which will now never be written, a strictly non-canonical biography of Johanna Smith-Rhodes may be found on the Terry Pratchett Fanon Wikia:- [1]

This diverges from what is now known of the canonical Mrs Smith-Rhodes. However, her role as Domestic Science Mistress has been given, in the fanfic AU, to another far more qualified and suitable person, which frees up Miss Smith-Rhodes in this alternative universe to take on a wholly different (and acclaimed as far more plausible) body, nationality and temperament.

Domestic Science isn't a specialty I would have guessed, either. There's something to be said for fan fiction. --Old Dickens (talk) 01:22, 16 June 2013 (GMT)

The "organic poisons" part fits, though. Scorpions, other arachnids, serpents, and so on...AgProv (talk) 21:15, 11 November 2013 (GMT)

Political background?

How is Alice Band "The Right Honourable" (a form of address reserved on Roundworld for privy-council-level politicians)? I don't see this anywhere else except in the "strictly non-canonical" biography mentioned above. She is usually referred to as "Miss" and her own article doesn't mention the honorific. --Old Dickens (talk) 16:51, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Good point. Amended. AgProv (talk) 09:20, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
