Scruff
The elvers are delicacies - so they say -and warmly welcomed in FE.
Glass eels - I dont know - salmon fresh from the Wye - valuable - plenty of green countryside
i know you have pies up north - always have had - and always will. Not sure about jellied eels up north?

Dont know about confidence - they sapped the will to live from me NYE.. Most funerals Ive been too are more enjoyable than that Alicia Keys thingy. F* depressing and ultra boring. Not even the auld lang syne sing along - probably not Sad Khan's bag

A placement in US or Australia, while helpful, is going to be less culturally enriching for Brits than going to Bologna, Heidelberg or Valencia. Is Johnson now going to burn all books not in English?

"The purpose of these ready made phrases is to allow someone to write an article with no thought at all. It's nothing new"

But you still feel the need to counter comment?

Pull the other one. ;)

LynnPosted January 2, 2021 at 11:49 am | PermalinkThe EU is wise not to depend on 'selling us so much'. They have lost the power of compulsion. So we will drink our own milk rather than pour it down the drain and buy theirs. In addition many British individuals see clearly what the EU is even if their Government is blinded by 'friendship and partnering'. We will be buying no EU produced goods, no Chinese produced goods.If that means I have a 'no spend' year, so much the better. I will have more to spend in British shops on British goods if ever the doors are allowed to be ajar.

What NONE of them said was the HUGE cost of Erasmus. The numbers shoe that for every £6 we put in, we get £1 back.Typical Lords, all high and mighty, but cannot confront the truth.

Surely they have something of value in Glos other than elvers -whatever they are?
We have tripe and black pudding up here but we have pies as well

BBC = The Nation's Confidence Sapper.BBC, just another word for FAECES.

John Redwood@johnredwood1hSo what will the BBC put in their news bulletins as it turns out the Project fear stories for Brexit day were wrong?

[jl5006] 02/1/2021 17:39

Wasnt the guy from GLOS - where the only value trade is in elvers - and the far east was the market - elvers from the river severn?

33 African countries - probably the richest in the world K 38 - yet floundering in abject poverty in so many parts . ur origin phps?

In the OT we went from genesis through exodus etc until judges then ruth.
We have learned nothing.
Everyone is a judge AND an expert - though their ability to write in the vernacular - the standard language - has been ruined by txt share price and exam boards allowing what they think the test paper means.
The cow jumped under the moon - near enough!
We could have but expected the Unions to use the "safe".
What prat in PHE though "safe" was the word? And the Gov let it be.
Birth can never be "safe" - though so many claims v NHS - it has to be. It was never safe to exodus - but ppl did without wanting to sue!
Life is never "safe" and never will be - a pointless stupid word typifying the abjectness of Govt management - ie the C service and all Gov Dpts.
No brave new world with the cesspit of putrid thoughts in the C S.
Root and branch change -

They will be back when divs are restored. That is how pension funds work, no?

[jordaggy] 02/1/2021 16:28

Old item but...

[grahamite2] 02/1/2021 16:23

Well...dismantled anyway!

What need is there for any sort of "union"?

[k38] 02/1/2021 16:20

Let's hope othe European countries will follow our example.. this union needs to be dismantled and start from scratch.

[aceuk] 02/1/2021 16:19

Effing hypocrite!

M2 I didn't come here for money but because of love and just happens to stay a lot longer than I was planning. I do had and still have my own place in the sun and money before I come to UK. Freedom of movement in my understanding does not include illegal immigration created by wars and secret plans to destroy democracy, freedom and life as we know it.. I vote for change. Brussels will never be Europe. "You are a foreigner, no? You came to the UK, made money, and went back to wherever you are? Is that right? So you benefitted from freedom of movement which you now have voted for to restrict others. You need to look in the mirror, pal."

Is education now just multiple choice as far as English is concerned?

Choose one answer from the following four Qs

The cat sat on over by -- the mat
The cow jumped under by over the moon
I stand with to by the courage of my convictions.
Man arrested over by for killing wife
Or is that A level now?

Hardly, Minerve. The purpose of these ready made phrases is to allow someone to write an article with no thought at all. It's nothing new - Orwell wrote about it in the 30s.
