not really. teachers have famalies and need holidays too.
maybe it could be shortened, but you can't scrap it
Oh I get that. I know several teachers both my age that have been teaching for around 10 years now as well as quite good friends with some teachers I was taught by. Which is why I suggested extending the Autumn Break (to two weeks) and Winter Break (to three weeks) to compensate for working the Summer (or maybe some of it, possible a four or three week Summer Break). |

I’m a teacher and on first glance I don’t find that an unreasonable suggestion |

I’d suggested similar to bamboo before, albeit a little different in that just knock the whole thing on the head for 2 months now and pick up again in April, working through summer, with a 2 week holiday in July to compensate.

the EU are about to play hardball over the vaccine contract and will limit exports to outside the EU while they're owed their own supplies.
no doubt this will be twisted by the media, but if the shoe was in the other foot we'd do the same.

Mrs B is getting her first vaccine jab tomorrow. I've requested her superpower be wings of a sparrow and arse of a crow

Way beyond my pay grade but quite an interesting read. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1354995265426616321.htmlRather counters the idea that ‘Oh, the UK was unlucky with the variant, poor Boris Johnson is just a victim of circumstances’. Those circumstances were created by the failures of the UK government. |

Thank you horlock, my name's on the previous workers commemoration board there. I was a fitter on steam trains and diesels as it happens. |

With over 100,000 dead, a litany of U-turns and clear failures every step along the way, that's not even a discussion any more surely? |

Couple of new vaccines announced, one of which is single jab, can be stored in a fridge, and 100% effective in preventing deaths. We should have it by the Autumn.
All of which means that Harrogate away next season is ON.

I wonder if anyone on here knows of anyone who has tested positive for antibodies after contracting Covid? My wife still has antibodies from our April disease as tested in GWH, but I don't know if I have antibodies, it's interesting isn't it? |

Aunty Ursula has made a grovelling phone call to Boris and sent in the storm troopers to the unelected Bureacrats who tried to ride roughshod over the NI protocol art16. Didn’t take em long did it? |
