Some pics of the landing. (No migraine inducing stripes.)
I'm worried the dark bit will look even longer and thinner with the stripes running across it, but I can see that the stairs will look better from above with the stripes running that way.
If I change the direction at the top of the stairs, it will look odd also.
Also undecided which way the large step on the turn should face, although directionally is correct, the guy said parallel would look better?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

You'd have thought the potential embarrassment would make it shrink enough to remove without help.

I was appalled when Ol' Pa Generali told me after seeing Flash Gordon (the one with the Queen soundtrack) that he basically hated all the films he took me to apart from that one. I had just assumed that he was having fun too.
Lots of the films I take the kids to these days I genuinely enjoy, Kung Fu Panda 3 the other week was a lot of fun for example.
To be fair, there have been a lot of kids movies that have upped their game so that adults can find them entertaining too. The Incredibles was brill. Spy Kids was tolerable. Various pixar movies made me fail to contemplate suicide.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
I promise I'll be quiet after this.
And comments are closed......we all know the reasons........

Our school has been keeping SATS very quiet this year no doubt so as not to 'stress' the kids (previously they have published the dates in the weekly newsletter). Realised this afternoon DS would have his papers this week (I haven't been keeping my eye on the ball due to work getting in the way) and found that although his maths is good he just doesn't know the English terms well enough, pretty fed up, his teacher is an NQT from Canada, the head is new and clearly they have not been focussed enough - no doubt other parents more on the ball have addressed this so feeling guilty that we haven't

The obvious place to address it, would be to complain to the school. They certainly haven't done that vocally enough for someone to sort it out. So either they haven't complained or the school has ignored the complaint.
Isn't the current thinking that SATs are only for the benefit of the school not the pupils?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Somehow SATs have passed me by. Never worked in a national curriculum centre, and judging by the bureaucracy that SATS suggest, I'm not much tempted.
Who benefits from them? Does it control allocation of resources to different schools? Genuine question.
Do we pace or rate ourselves against other countries or counties with them?There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

Isn't that what pantomimes do? They have one text for the kids, and another lot of double entendres to keep the adults happy.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
