Re: Moans, groans, grunts and wheezes...
I did my 11+. I think my age group were the last in most parts of England to sit that exam. Don't think we ever worked with yards though. I'm still not exactly sure to this day how far my dad is...

Re: 54 euro for 4 icecreams
Not a great deal of inflation? What are you talking about?
A palline at it's most expensive is 1.20 euro here. A pallina sold at 1.50 is very expensive.

Re: Pet Peeves?
In my defence, I teach English in Italy and I'm sick of students asking me why I say certain words when they hear them in TV pronounced incorrectly. Sometimes it's the fault of the Italian narrator. ...

Re: quick question!!

Re: Pet Peeves?

Re: quick question!!
Hadenoughpizza couldn't have said it better.

I know my kids are not the only ones not doing it, but the others are all of different faiths, creeds, cultures and ethnic backgrounds so in a way they are excused and ignored .........
