It's the weeks when the teachers who teach your kids are off. Plus there is a massive shortage of teachers, so who is filling those lessons? How does the school budget for having to pay supply teachers to fill those gaps when school budgets are already stretched beyond their limits anyway? It's unworkable and costly beyond belief. Ok a few things here: - out of all the things posted in this thread, some of which are totally insane and unworkable in any realistic way...why has this one in particular got your back up? Especially one designed to help families struggling financially...maybe you're the Tory 😉 - my post was written in 30 seconds while I was killing time (in UKFF fashion, probably on the bog). Unfortunately I don't have a 250 page planning dossier ready to resolve all possible situations, issues, funding and planning so please forgive me for that. - in a world with nuclear programmes, wars, international trade, global infrastructure projects, etc etc is teachers and students taking a small amount of time off during the school year such an insanely unworkable beyond belief prospect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 23. Nationalize caravan parks in Skeggy so kids can get a free week or two on holiday. This'll go with the nationalized trains which add an actual proper journey or ten there a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it is you a probably a Tory. Yeah it is, didn’t know the trade unionists who made it so were tories though. Every days a school day, unless all the teachers are taking term time holidays and the school is closed obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've has a courtesy car while mine is in the garage and the DAB has been stuck on 5Live. They've discussed it a few times and 5Live phone in shows are where the comments section of the Mail and Guardian come to do battle in audio form.

No other switches to Americanization, mind.  26 minutes ago, Lion_of_the_Midlands said: You know what, you are right.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 21 Paid Members Share Posted May 21 6. Everyone should get a designated number of "the weather's bollocks, I'm not coming to work" days - if you look out the window and it's absolutely pissing it down, nobody should expect you to trudge through it to work. Conversely, if it's 30+ degrees and bright sunshine, there should be an equivalent number of "the weather's great, I'm not coming to work" days too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 21 Paid Members Share Posted May 21 47. Everyone who drives a joke so far into the ground it becomes antipodean should be forced to support Arsenal upon pain of death. Arsenal duvet covers and wallpaper to be mandatory for them. If they already support Arsenal then it is their rivals they have to support. Manchester City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
