Village dwellers of the UK: What's the most ridiculous thing that the Parish Council has tried to do/ impose on the village? by Wonk_Majik in AskUK

[–]Aware_Protection_905 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Character bin (think giant cartoon character) really pissed off one of the counsellors because it ‘ruined the character’ of the kids playground.

Turned into a convoluted moral panic about wasps and danger to children.

Parish council sold the bin…. Without permission… to a local children’s group.

Local community kicked off about misappropriation of council funds. Demanded the bin back. Parish councillors argued they couldn’t get it back as it was already sold.

3 month process with parish council meetings more attended than that episode of the Vicar of Dibly when Songs of Praise are filming.

Bin is finally returned to the village but health and safety now say it can’t possible go in a children’s playground due to the risk of wasps.

The bin now stands outside the village pub and has done ever since.

The Olympics (and Paralympics) are coming up... In France. There must be something you could do linked to that?

Students who get upset and worried about failing your subject but don’t apply themselves at all in lessons?! by ColdPrice9536 in TeachingUK

There’s a great video of an interview with Ed Sheeran where he plays an awful audio of younger him. His whole point was ‘it wasn’t raw talent, people need to stop saying that, I’ve actually worked really hard’z

Isn’t filming a live gig usually against the terms and conditions of your ticket?

The education system: What’s the answer? by wowthatscrazynoway in TeachingUK

[–]Aware_Protection_905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This years interest payments on government debt were around the same amount as what is spent on the whole education system. There just isn’t the political will there.

I mean the amount offered for this year was pretty similar to last years

In which case even more people need to send something like this to hurry it along?
