The Slaughtered Lamb 😁

Poets day.

That’s a phrase I haven’t heard in a while!

"Who'd Have Thought It"

The Constellation->Timber Carriage->Half Moon->White Horse->The Castle->The Kings Head->The Royal Oak (Gateway)->The Greenhill

and back again 😀

Or me. That takes me back.

Pretty shockingly (these days) I used to go out Friday lunchtime and have a couple of large glasses of wine as a teacher. Totally normal behaviour at the time (up to roughly 2000 I reckon).

It’s never been ok to lunchtime drink in my job - education.

But by Friday lunchtime it’s about all anyone talks about doing when the school day ends 😂

We used to go the pub Friday lunch in schools. Right up until about 1999. Lunch is now about 25 minutes. Killjoys.

Not so! See my post just above yours!

Meanwhile, who's not proud to be British, now you know tjis wikipedia page exists ?

Yes I saw that - I didn’t start in the sector until 2007.
i missed that period of time - although I haven’t drank alcohol for over 10 years now either!

Munich Mouser 😬

Different times @itsgettingweird , different times…
I don’t think it did anyone any harm though.

In 6th form it was fairly routine for us to go to the same pub as the teachers on Friday lunchtime.😁

Probably made teaching bearable 🤣

Almost.

Well I used to work in advertising, and all day lunchtime drinking, any day of the week, was pretty much de rigeur!

Good grief

So much wrong with this. 😬

Just when I thought my opinion of the Catholic church had hit rock bottom. That’s dreadful.

The Covid Inquiry begins examining the Covid crisis in care homes today.

On Wednesday Matt Hancock will appear.

@ilovesooty I am really shocked by that, I would have thought that the priest would have had to consult the bishop before taking that step. It will be interesting to see whether a statement is made by the bishop’s office.

I’m not a Catholic, but I am fairly sure that it would not be permissible for a Catholic to choose an assisted death. I think it could be argued though that an MP should be able to vote for the wishes of his constituents rather than in line with Catholic policy.

And we have a new political party.

Further splitting the Tory/Reform vote I hope.

I wonder what the Daily Express thinks of them? 😂

The name makes me think of toothpaste. Campaigning for whiter teeth. Not brown ones like that there Nigel.
