Must admit not being able to distinquish between "business" and direct payment scheme wasn't an aspect I considered,hence such things.

It's easy to see where the misunderstanding came from. Lot's of people use the acronyms "after death/ before Christ" to remember which is which. That this boy took it literally and had difficulty letting go of a previously formed idea suggests he may be autistic. At the very least, it should be accepted that some people are just wired differently. I doubt this boy was obstinate in his beliefs simply to annoy you. Holding onto them possibly made him feel more secure in some way as he struggled with the transition to secondary school.Temulkar wrote:Many years ago, I had a young Year 7 kid, terribly enthusiastic about history, but very stubborn if he had read a ladybird book that it was correct and his teachers were wrong. He had been taught that AD meant after death in primary (I have no idea why) and he persisted with this for the whole year, arguing with me (his Head of Year) and his other history teacher that he was correct, and we were wrong (in spite of the fact that he had never heard of Bede). When it came to the exam and he stubbornly insisted on putting after death to the AD answer it meant he missed the pass by 2 marks and was devastated. At the start of Year 8 in the recap lesson to kick of the new year, he insisted that AD meant after death. Some people never learn...

Oh, of course that could easily be the case, however, in this instance he was not autistic, he was popular bright and managed the transition very well. His problem was that he would never admit to being wrong about something, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. His very middle class parents had the same issue with him, although his father did ask me if I was sure AD meant Anno Domini...Willow904 wrote:It's easy to see where the misunderstanding came from.

Seriously, though, if accepting you were right meant accepting his dad was wrong, there may be a clue there to his stubbornness. Similarly I suspect no one wants to shift their views on Brexit, from either side, hence the continued political crisis enveloping our country. A tragic result of the abandonment of consensus politics by Cameron's Tories who deliberately stoked up division for political gain. At least there is some poetic justice in their current position but hard to enjoy when we're all still suffering and facing further suffering from the continued fallout from their divisive policies and rhetoric.

Re: Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd July 2017
No - I don't know what he's talking about, either. But I imagine he hopes that people will think that the Government has actually taken some action with regard to the Council.The government will keep "a close eye" on Kensington and Chelsea council after its leader quit over the Grenfell Tower fire, the communities secretary says.
Sajid Javid said it was "right" that Nicholas Paget-Brown stepped down and said the process to select a successor would be "independent of government".
Mr Javid said: "It is right the council leader stepped down given the initial response to the Grenfell tragedy," adding: "If we need to take further action, we won't hesitate to do so." (BBC News website - my emphasis)

No coverage (that I can find, anyway) in the Guardian of the anti-austerity march that is taking place in London. Sky TV News has reported on it (thousands have turned up, apparently). Don't know about BBC TV News.

Just in case the last link was too light hearted, a Twitter feed to remind us that when we don't have Brexit and the Tories to worry about, there's always Trump and the Republicans to keep us awake at night. I particularly like the lists where every potential Trump replacement sounds even worse than Trump himself. Happy days.

Afternoon folks,
About that magic money tree. Seems that the rate for training civil servants to negotiate Brexit is £10,000 per day, according to a chap I know. Imported academics seem to be doing very well out of it.
