I think it's more likely that those born in September (did you notice at school just how many September birthdays there were?) are the product of their parents getting carried away and slipping up on the contraception front over the festive period.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -

I wonder if they've had an incident since your friend took her own cake or an over-zealous EHO inspector.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -

If you want to help your DD's education, better brush up a bit on stats before she gets on to the subject in Maths!

Then why on earth are you saying that one example (your DD) proves a statistical analysis of hundreds of thousands of children is wrong?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

The statistic states that summer babies are likely to suffer educational difficulties. My daughter isn't. I am not interested on statistics. I'm sure at some point in the future it will change and summer babies will be excelling due to more support or some random thing. Why people get so fixated on these kinds of things is beyond me. Less tv more living I'd say.PAD 2023 Debt total as of Dec 2022 £18,988.63*April £17,711.03

What you actually said was "For me we have proven this "statistic" wrong."
Which is a pretty half-witted thing for a numeracy teacher to say!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Thank you for name calling me twice now. Can we get back onto the original topic? Anything you'd like to add about my daughter birthday cake? Any little gem of knowledge you would like to bestow onto us before your crawl back beneath your rock?PAD 2023 Debt total as of Dec 2022 £18,988.63*April £17,711.03

I think a rainbow birthday cake sounds lovely and far better than the cafe's suggested basic sponge cake....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

Thought so! (to summarise in easy terms for us thicko summer babes to be able to understand
) they tried it on to milk a few more quid off you, didn't get away with it, didn't want to lose the custom, made up an excuse to save face, job done.
Good job!0
