You must have some very strange shaped stockings down there in Sussex SRM :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Gah, is it just me? I offer to do people a favour, and instead of them fitting it around my committments I'm expected to work around their whims and bad timings. Surely a favour means I'm putting myself out and so they should be flexible to me? Or is that how favours wok for everyone.

i agree with you ames if people want a favour they should do it when you can

Government say so. some thing to do with awareness of different religions and community, you can do citizenship in some schools instead, which is also supposed to make you feel all community minded and fuzzy about the world.

Thank Gawd they didn't have them when I was at school.

RE up to GCSE? shudder......remembering my own RE lessons which were literally being told to read great passages about the Bible and what the stories were about. It was dull, lifeless and I learnt nothing.

I learned how to survive being bored. It has stood me in great stead.

Thing is though, these days diversity can be seen as really interesting. There are just so many religious festivals, celebration days for so many different religions, maybe it might be quite interesting these days.

It could be interesting if we got bank holidays for each one...

Think home economics would be more useful to be compulsory than RE at school :rotfl:

My thoughts entirely.

So we have the choice of "Lessons so you don't starve or become a debt slave beholden to others."

Or "Lessons to make you warm and fuzzy and "community" minded, except they will be a successful as "Don't smoke kids!" campaigns".

And what was chosen... :rolleyes:
