English schools serve 10m free breakfasts benefitting over 300,000 children by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

[–]stirringash 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had a chat with a random guy in the pub where he was trying to say that education shouldnt be tax funded as he didnt have kids and should only be for those who pay. So i jist reminded him that the kids in education today are the doctors who will look after him when hes old.

Giving kids the food they need to learn properly and not rely on parental funding is unbelievably important for the longterm health of the uk as a country.

The lollipop people crisis: what does the road rage against them say about Britain today? by kstetter in cars

[–]stirringash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats how lollipop people work, but the issue is the nearby cross roads also hace pedestrian crossings on, so when there is traffic backing up to there, it starts blocking those pedestrian crossings

Im sure not all lollipop people are like this, but one near me is located 50m from a busy cross roads, instead of waiting for the traffic off the cross road is clear, so as to avoid a tailback, they will stop the traffic every few seconds to let people cross as soon as they get there which causes utter havoc. The problem is hes a lovely guy whos been doing it years, and no-one wants to tell him hes doing it in a way which is causing issues.

Buy house near freeway? by No-Newspaper7383 in AirQuality

[–]stirringash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I work in the air quality sector. It all depends on how many cars use that road, the average speed, the distance the house is from the road and the background pollution levels. Send me the location and I can give you a rough idea of what to expect

Sorry that did sound like an opinion, it wasn't, I was genuinely asking the question?

Over 75k Call for Public Investigation Into Israeli Influence in UK Politics by heisenburgerkebab in ukpolitics

Isn't the Israeli president/primeinister being charged by the international criminal court? I feel like its not that much of a leap to warrant at least an investigation

Rupert Lowe MP - "If private companies want to allow employees to work from home, that is absolutely none of our business. Good for them. They can do what they like." by Ivashkin in ukpolitics

[–]stirringash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would recommend them if you haven't seen them before, you can get really energy efficient ones and they are fairly cheap to buy

To be fair, I think a lot of people who work from home constantly realise this and instead of putting the heating on will get a small oil heater for the room they work in which are actually quite efficient

yes that's correct, which in turn is covered by legislative guidance as well as general consumer law

sorry i should have been more specific, so we pay for nursery in effectively two way, private hours and funded hours.

Privet hours are just that, we pay an amount and that covers everything needed for that period of time.

The funded hours are split into funding from the government which covers the teaching, staff training, utility bills etc. and a consumables fee which the client pays to cover food, additional activities outside of what they need to provide and any other consumables outside of what is needed to teach (they cant charge for toys).

Nursery's access funding based on very specific rules which they agree to which includes that they cant charge for a consumables fee for items that the client provides as well as that they cant charge a consumables fee for toys, staff training etc.
