How did people survive before tax credits.... I do agree with Franks point on weekly benefit payments. The monthly cycle has been introduced purely for ease of government administration without any real thought as to the consequences.

It is going to be a long, long time before his performance at Headingley in 1981 is forgotten. I can still visualise the final delivery when he bowled Ray Bright middle stump.

There were no Greeks until the Romans met a Boeotian tribe of that name settled in Italy. In the classical period the inhabitants of Greece regarded themselves as Hellenes and called the land of Greek speakers, Hellas.

Well the feedback forms from the participants in Fridays Learning Together event should make interesting reading. ‘A lot more challenging than I expected...’ ’I learned a lot about the use of narwhal tusks as improvised weapons...’ Unfortunately, I would imagine the “Were the aims of the event fulfilled ?” question will only be scoring 1 out of 10.
