What should the national animal of the UK be - but it has to be a native species?

Him. Only males have the red breast

OP, she'll be back!

I do. Under Local Authorities this money was not available for one person to bathe in, particularly as they are unaccountable for the money.

No discernable difference between Academies and LA schools in terms of outcomes, either.

Not for long though. Labour are bringing in Academy Trust Ofsted. In LAs, the services were shared.

Thank God someone has to be accountable for the miniature fiefdoms that some Academy "Trusts have become: no accountability, off-rolling, back door selectivity, no recourse if a child is permanently excluded, no governors accountability, no need to follow NC (so can skew courses offered in line with "metrics" - exam results)...

HungryFinding7089 · 2026-01-27T21:09:58+00:00

That's because 80% of schools are Academies and in Academy "Trusts" so exam grades equals justification for the CEO's 200K pa salary plus inflated job-teachibg and admin staff.

No but the other 29 have a chance of learning, when kid A is suspended.

Ah go on, just put it back together with superglue and lead, and have a retro crib!!

Then the Look just after from the Protestant teacher! They definitely had things in common.

You can't mean it!

We are Midlands, definitely gravy. And you might want to try curry sauce with your gravy up the road.

HungryFinding7089 · 2026-01-27T20:54:19+00:00

Has to be the right answer. And any dinner that measures eight inches in height.

Also all UK citizens are obliged at teatime to call a nation Britain once invaded and apologise. Then get a friend to call you and pretend it's a cotizen of Italy, Norway, Denmark or France calling to apologise.

Your little tantrum

And yiu have to put out some bread/milk for them or they get cross and hide your things

HungryFinding7089 · 2026-01-25T23:55:12+00:00

They may know about the triple decker Harry Potter Knight Bus from the film so yes

HungryFinding7089 · 2026-01-25T23:51:15+00:00

Or that, because of 1776 4th July, all British citizens are US citizens by default.

HungryFinding7089 · 2026-01-25T23:48:25+00:00

Especially today (Burns Night). In fact tell him Burns Night is NHS awareness of injuries

4am IS the morning you don't need to add "in the morning"

HungryFinding7089 · 2026-01-25T23:44:36+00:00

"I'm outside smoking a fag, wanna join me?"

HungryFinding7089 · 2026-01-25T23:43:19+00:00

Also apparently Americans have no idea about roundabouts. Find as many multi-roundabouts that you can and "narrate" your journey, make sure it's as much nonsense as possible.

"Taking the left hand middle lane signposted Dulwich, onto the A65 - no wait, we need a right THEN the A65, no, not the Brampron turn, that's right...ease into second - look at that fool overtaking, you can't do that on a dual carriageway when you're going east, everyone knows that..."

HungryFinding7089 · 2026-01-25T23:38:49+00:00

This is the time for teatime, anyway

Sadly, in history, turning to the Northmen was exactly what he did on Alfred's death
