My son comes home from school & tells me they’ve been watching Mr Bean today.
Apparently they’ve done all their work for the term.
More like teachers can’t be bothered & are on the wind down for their hols.

Just like its always been surely? finish the syllabus then toss it off. Bring in games, watch videos etc.

We did it on the last day,not the full wk.
Suppose when you hear that they need to catch up after covid,teachers striking it just make me think they’re full of .

We get them every other year, fortunately they only stay for 2/3 days.

We have a fish guy that comes to our Village once a week. The same applies to a local farm shop.

I asked whether they do an itemised bill and the answer was no. The butcher just bangs some numbers on a calculator and quotes £35.45 or whatever. I have no idea of checking and when asked she just laughed!

Whilst there cannot be any true figures for their tax my question is: Is it legal not to let a customer have an itemised bill?

Perhaps you could buy your stuff one item at a time.

UPS - on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being perfect they're minus several million.
Bought a wedge from Golfbidder on Monday, it was shipped Monday and I even got a message from UPS saying it was out for delivery...the tracking confirmed it.
Half an hour later and I get an email saying there's a delay and my delivery status will be updated ASAP
After 30 hours of nothing I have a moan to GB and they get on to UPS..
Half an hour later I get a call from UPS...very sorry etc etc..parcel is on the van and will be delivered in 2-3 hours....
Well guess what..?
3rd time in a row that a delivery involving UPS has been delayed....
Its come to the point that if a company uses them I simply won't buy from them..no matter how good a deal may be....
Bunch of Peasants.

I think we should all get on Goldbidder's TrustPilot and tell them how useless their choice of delivery service is. Then they might notice?

Wasps eating my strawberries. Squashed a few as they gorged but had to concede and leave the greedy gits to it...

I left school in 98 & the things they teach them now are
My lad would definitely benefit from another week of learning rather than tossing it off for 1wk before a 6wk hol.

Playing devils advocate, if he’d benefit from another week’s teaching, maybe taking him out of school for a week wasn’t the best idea?

Good point.
But we needed a holiday,mrs had a hard time with her mother having a stroke just after Christmas.

Plus have you seen price of hols in school holidays?

Just stop oil protesters.
It’s time to stop entertaining these idiots.
Bring out the water cannons or set the dogs on them.

Have you thought about taking it to an auction?

We've got a viewing tomorrow, if nothing comes of that, will be looking at auction.

Bush fires. There was one yesterday afternoon just over a mile from us. Helicopters were up dipping into a lake close by, and looked to have it well under control. Sadly not quick enough before it took out broadband for the town.

BBC Breakfast misleading/lazy reporting (again). Referring to the report into supermarket pricing and clarity of pricing information/offers. Declaring that a consumer purchasing a small glass bottle of Coca Cola would be over 300% more per 100ml than if they bought a 2l plastic bottle...

Yes, that's more than a random irritation, we always go in May to keep the price down.

They are so scary, we had a remote villa in Portugal and were woken at 2AM by the fire brigade, had to evacuate quickly, told to grab a blanket and passports only and get out quick! Luckily no major damage as the wind changed and they got it under control, but wow that was scary.
