Back on topic, this looks compelling and accurate to me: http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/08/shouldnt-vote-jeremy-corbyn/

I completely agree. I used to like going off piste off teaching with the bright kids and give them more context than the syllabus demands. They loved it and it fitted in perfectly with my philosophy that if you tell people WHY something works they will remember it. Someone with an A level is...

I was a maths teacher - taught for 4 years before leaving to become a graduate trainee programmer and I took a pay rise - even though I had an incentive A allowance by then too. We wanted children and we simply couldn't afford it on my pay. 15 years ago I was made redundant and didn't work for...

Me too - first in the family to go to grammar school and first to university. I read recently than now fewer than 50% of maths teachers in secondary school have any relevant post-A level qualification in maths. And is it any wonder when they are paid less than half of what they would be in...

looks like he wants the money.

I just googled Keren, fully expecting to find that she was a Momentum member and part of his team. I was wrong and accept that he couldn't find a seat at the start of his journey.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37167700 I've been on many jam-packed trains. When there are empty reserved seats they are sat on; many of the reservations don't even start until later in the journey. I've even reserved seats in the past and not even been able to get to the seat to...

I guess he may have been if he'd stayed there until the conductor arrived; however as soon as he finished the video he went and sat down. As for: My understanding is that Corbyn was trying to make a political point about renationalising the trains. Virgin was defending itself; not attacking...

I dislike all aggressive driving. What is it with people that seem to use their horns at every opportunity? Mistakes get made on the road; if you are driving carefully you have plenty of time to adjust your speed. I reckon I've only used my horn about 5 times in all the years I have been...

Things not going well in Spain, Daz?

Respectfully disagree that the activation of Article 50 is relevant to sentiment. That's just admin'. I did mean 2 years after we have actually left. This is a long term play and we should know by then if it has paid off. If, as I believe and hope, we are able to negotiate many trade deals...

Partially; I certainly wouldn't draw any conclusions until 2 years after we have left as that's when we'll have had time to see the effects - although of course we'll never know what might have been had the opposite happened. What we can judge from this is the effect on sentiment - and that...

Banks may relocate to some degree if they need to in order to access EU markets. However it's unlikely to be major. The international banks such as Barclay's already have subsidiaries throughout the world.

All along the watchtower by xtc and foxy lady by the cure were my first introduction to Hendrix.

I don't recognise this track - it certainly wasn't on the original "Are We Not Men" track list. Check out their cover of Satisfaction.

FTSE close to 7,000; FX stabilised; retail sales up; unemployment down. It's still early days and this Moody's forecast speculative but rumours of the UK's death appear to have been exaggerated...

All psychological Imo; who knows how they'd react?

I thought that this had all gone quiet now. I'd protest at their ricoh theft attempts and moving us to sixfields, but they haven't done anything bad recently have they?

I do, but nobody knows do they? To the op, it reads to me that he's probably a broker. He will have no special knowledge or understanding above what's already available here with the mix of experience from several regulars.

I'm in Orkney right now; it's beautiful but the weather... Now I no longer need access to London I think we will move to Dorset.
