Waitrose is 5 mins away from me too
I'm attempting to design an 8-week, one hour tutorial course for medical students. I've got nowhereI'd much rather teach biology/biochemistry/biomedical scientists. For the educators on this thread, how do you decide what goes in your module?
Everything I know how to teach isn't really relevant for the course modules. They encompass most of the modules but what I do is really rather specialist0 -
My nearest Waitrose is a 5 minute walk.
More importantly, my nearest Home Bargains is hours away, in Southall.:mad:
Better change subject before PN gives me a CHAV ALERT!
When we lived in Birmingham last year there was a Home Bargains and a Waitrose in the same High Street.
My nearest Waitrose and nearest M&S food stores are both located in motorway service stations. Don't much fancy walking!!Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Waitrose opens here at the end of the month. I am looking forward to the bargains at the end of the day
In my experience they do the best reductions of all the supermarkets. And have the nicest food

I wouldn't do my shopping in one of those. There's one we have to stop at on our journeys north because of its location.

Sorry - I don't get to decide that!Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

It's been a long time since I decided on the content of a course; most of my current ones are externally validated, so not my decision.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
zag, I feel I ought to know by now what it is that you teach, and at what kind of educational establishment, but I don't.
Is that something you feel able to put on a public forum?Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

This feels very strange....I get to decide what I want to teach arbitrarily. you have standards and things to achieve yet I'm being trained to teach while I'm sorting this out. Got to be a better way of doing this...
edit to add: this is part of a PGCertHE0 -

They do do good reductions, I once got basically half a cow in there for £1, reduced from something ludicrous like £25.
The best thing about Waitrose is the little hand scanner thing which means you don't have to queue at the till.0 -

no, the best thing about waitrose is that their special offers still apply for their reduced items0
