 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I was at work (at the university) today, and the cinema at Didsbury was open as usual! Cinema at bolton was closed yesterday but now seems to be back open... I feel mildly cheated that our extra week of school holiday has consisted of everyone else being off with snow too! Suspect we'll be open Monday, especially as there are exams. | ||

That is the number of days we all still teach  .Most of the extra holiday is in the second half of the summer term, which is traditionally dead time in schools anyway (certainly was when I was at school!). edit: and parents like it as they can take the kids on cheap off-peak holidays in mid-July . | ||

 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Well the drive to my meeting in Lancaster went smoothly.. until I made the foolish decision of turning down the 'drive' which was a farm track up a hill to the offices. Needless to say the automatic rear wheel drive BMW could not make it up said hill... and then could not reverse back out of the drive up another incline... finally got out thanks to a shovel and two chaps pushing! | ||
