Food miles is too simplistic. A recent study showed that buying UK produced produce that had been grown under glass was more environmentally damaging than the same crop grown where it is native and then flown around the world. Buying home grown produce when in season makes more sense.

OK, get your generic mp3 player set it to random play and let's see what the first five tracks that come out are. Be fun to see what dodgy stuff folks have on their gadgets.
Mine are:
Jammit O'Rielly - The Cropdusters
Burn Baby Burn - Ash
Guns of Navarone - The Skalites
Baby Bloke, You're a Bastard - The Shirehorses
Inversion - Mark Ronson

We occasionally tweak our profile, change photos etc. We also add "last edit day/month/year" at the bottom to show how current the information is. Perhaps admin could automatically add a date stamp to profiles when they are edited. Might encourage folks who have been members for several years to stop claiming they are 'new to this' etc

My brother employs over 300 people, and has had the same written test that all prospective employees have to take. It involves basic elements of maths, physics, English language and grammar and has remained unchanged for 15 years. In 1982, the average score was 81%. Last year the average score was 37%. Make of that what you will.
Brighter people don't want to work for your brother?
Highly amusing, I'm sure. I forgot to mention that the minimum qualification to even get to the interview and assessment stage is 3 a-levels including 2 science-based.Yup, flippant response from me, but the fact remains that for some reason your brother seems to not be able to attract the standard of applicants that he used to. I would imagine most people leaving school with decent grades in 3 A levels(2 in sciences)are looking at going to university.

Did you know that some kids can take an English exam paper where the highest grade you can achieve is a C grade, and other pupils can take a different exam paper which is harder? So you get one set of pupils taking one exam paper which is easier, and another group of kids take the harder paper.
Why do all the pupils not take the same exam? I will not be cynical and say it could possibly help the pass rates.
You could do the same back in the 1980s with CSEs too. Not a new thing. It's in many subjects too and not a daft idea. Why fluster a kid with lesser ability with a load of questions they can't answer when you can give them a paper where they can actually show their true ability.

A friend of Mrs777's Daughter took her maths GCSE this year ( a year early ), and can take it again in November, and again next May.
She then takes the highest grade as her GCSE result.
So three bites at the same is just one reason why grades are so high?
As I have said in the past the ones that would have got A's and A*'s and B's regardless will always be there but....the ones that would have got C's and D's before now get higher grades because they are allowed to take them more than once.
When I took my O levels and CSEs back in the 1980s I could resit exams if I wanted within 6 months and was also able to double enter and do O levels and CSEs in the same subjects. Is this any different?

its on for 12 weeks, so whats the problem?
I choose not to watch it as I think it's a pile of twaddle, indeed I watch very little television for the same reason. What really pee's me off with Big Brother is I can't switch on the radio, open a newspaper, turn on the internet etc. without it being thrust at me at every opportunity. Hell, I even come onto a swingers website and they're bloody talking about it.

I think with some pupils being allowed to take them a year earlier and in some cases can take them three times, and keep the higher grade out of the two or three attempts, proves it is much easier to get good grades than ever before.
Our eldest son took all his GCSEs a year early. He got 4 A*, 6 A and 2 B grades. Bugger all to do with being easier to get good grades, he worked his butt off to achive those grades. Just completed his AS with 4 As in the cop-out subjects of Maths (Pure), Maths (statistics), Physics and Chemistry. Re-takes are advised against as in the case of further education they often ignore the re-take grade or set a higher standard for the re-take grade. Of course employers could always see what mark people achieved to get their A grades.
