I can\'t understand yanks not using stones. They put their weight in
just pounds, which means you get a ridiculously high number which is
meaningless, then try to divide it by 14 in your head! Do they also
measure their car speed in inches per hour?

I\'ve seen roadworks signs in Massachusetts which say something like
\"Roadworks in 5280 feet\" (that\'s 1 mile to everyone else!). That was in
the late 1990s.

Is it the Jews we have to think for the monumentally stupid concept of Sunday being the first day of the week? It\'s the weekEND. Even in religion, it\'s the day of rest, and you rest after you work, not before!

Back before the law allowed Sunday opening at all for most shops, our
local B&Q opened every Sunday (what else are people to do if they find
they are short of something to finish off a plumbing job on a Saturday
evening)? Every Sunday they were hit with a big fine. They continued to
open, because the (IIRC £10K fine, was easily outweighed by Sunday
trading profits).

The rules were crazy anyway - you couldn\'t buy a bible, but could buy a
pornographic magazine. You could buy medicines, but not a hearing aid
battery. Madness.

New York State had a similar law but a souvenir shop could be open on
Sunday. One of the early versions of a mega-market claimed they were
selling souvenirs along with food, clothing, and so forth.

I forget which state it was but a market couldn\'t sell alcohol before noon

Shops could be open on a Sunday, but could not sell most items.
Pornographic (and other) magazines counted as newspapers and so could be
sold, bibles could not. Batteries for any purpose (except transport)
could not be sold. Food could not be sold, but sweets could. You could
go into pharmacy and buy medicines or razor blades, but they would not
sell you a hearing aid battery.

Shops could sell parts and consumables for bikes, cars and (IIRC)
helicopters, but not building, plumbing or decorating items.

I forget which state it was but a market couldn\'t sell alcohol before noon
on Sunday so there were roll down fences I guess you would call them on

The last time I was there, the alcohol aisles of supermarkets in
Northern Ireland were in a section with separate doors that were closed
out of hours. Some tills were signed for buying alcohol with your normal
shopping and others prohibited it, despite them all being mixed up in a
single row.

Scottish shops do have licensed hours for alcohol sales, while English
(and possibly Welsh) shops can sell whenever they are open, so 24hrs a
day for many.

We had one math teacher that let us do anything. Read comic books,
eat, flirt, do other class homework, anything non-violent and
reasonably quiet. He\'d mostly ignore us but once in a while he\'d get
up and sketch some math concept on the blackboard, talk for a few
minutes, and go back to his newspaper. We learned a lot.

Where I worked, a saw a low end management woman (upgraded teacher who only took \"social education\" classes) having strong words with a young male maths teacher. Apparently his discipline was too strong and he shouldn\'t shout. I pointed out they learned stuff in his class and they threw paper aeroplanes in her class, and just aswell she doesn\'t teach a real subject. She walked off without saying a word. Stupid Italian.

I don\'t remember any flirting in our school, but then again, it was an
all boys school!

They say 4% of males are gay.

It started as a mixed school on another site, but with
the baby boom, a second school was built in the early \'60s. The girls
kept the old school and the boys had the new one.

How come the boys got the new one? Did they armwrestle the girls for it?

There was a little cross-over, with a few girls coming to our school for
woodwork and metalwork and a few boys going to the other school for
German and Further Maths.

Most boys weren\'t bright enough for advanced maths?

After I left, in the mid \'80s, the two schools re-merged on the old
site, over a period of years, with some additional building work and the
new (badly built) school was demolished for housing. During the merging,
two years were merged every year, with both boys and girls from
non-merged years bussed back and forth between the schools, multiple
times a day. The local coach company made a fortune!

They should of walked.

My school was an all-boys grammar school but there was an all-girls high
school on the opposite side of the road. The headmaster of the grammar
school and the headmistress of the high school disapproved of \"their
boys\" or \"their girls\" fraternising with \"members of the opposite sex\"
on the pavements between the schools, but the tarmac between one kerb
and the other was generally regarded as neutral ground, so the white
line down the centre was a (rather risky) snogging ground ;-)
Fortunately there wasn\'t too much traffic going along that road.

Our school had a swimming bath, so a couple of times a week a class of
girls would parade through our playground to the swimming pool, and the
entrance to the changing room was *very* strongly guarded by a couple of
high school teachers ;-) On occasions, a girl would \"accidentally on
purpose\" leave her swimming costume in the changing room for her
boyfriend to find ;-)

Mostly the two schools were completely separate, but there were a few (a
very few) classes in the sixth form which were shared - mainly on the
arts side: no girls ever joined us for maths, physics or chemistry. Also
the two school joined forces to put on a school play or Gilbert &
Sullivan opera; they alternated between the grammar school and the high
school as the venue for this. I helped with the lighting for several of
the plays and operas, and took some photos for one of the plays. Our
headmaster would have taken A Very Dim View (he always spoke in
capitals!) of the antics I saw in the wings from my elevated position in
the lighting gantry as the cast were waiting to go on-stage.

What is it with teachers and being so prudish? They think anyone of school age doesn\'t know any swearwords and doesn\'t know what a nipple is. Where I worked, two kids were saying naughty words like shit as I walked past with the business manager. I shouted directly at them, \"Mind your fucking language!\". The boys thought it was hilarious, and she went bright red. \"I don\'t think you\'re supposed to say that,\" she said quietly.. I told her they already knew those words. The parent/teachers association gave us money to buy a huge (at the time) plasma TV which I fitted in the lunch hall. Their Virgin cable contract (which didn\'t actually exist and had ended a decade ago and we were apparently just left connected to) stopped working when the builders retarmacked the car park the cable went under. So I got a Sky dish on Freecycle, bought an 8 way LNB and some old Sky boxes on Ebay, and wired everything up. I used my own Sky account and told them I had boxes in \"bedrooms\" so they
ended up getting Sky for £5 a month per box. I didn\'t have porn on the account, but the advertising for the adult channel was there, with women in bikinis. One of the kids found the channel, but the deputy headmistress found out. She tole me there was pornography on the TV in the dinner hall. I said there wasn\'t so she asked a boy to show me. I laughed and said they could see that sort of thing on the beach. The boys thought it was hilarious as I wound her up more and more. I asked her if she stopped her own kids seeing such things and she said yes, so I said I\'m glad you\'re not my mother. I put a pin number on the box for that channel, then told the kids what it was and said to be careful she didn\'t see
