Funnily enough I hated coss country running when we were forced to do it, however when I got older and reached the 6th form, then we had loads of free time, and we were allowed to do what we wanted when we were approaching our A levels and revising. I took up cross country running with a few friends, and we would run almost every day, eventually this became known to the athletics teachers, and we all finished up being entered for the county cross cuntry championship, didn't come anywhere, but at least I reached the standard.

Where did you get that number from? As dunroving says it doesn't sound like an average wage to me - unless of course someone is taking all the ridiculous banker wages and adding those in to the regular persons wages and making an 'average' that way :sneaky:

That's great, I do think running focus's your mind and relieves stress, which is great for students. My daughter is on the cross-country team at school, I don't know how she does it as I absolutely loathed it at school.

I think it's too late in life now..but I would love to have taken up any form of running. I did it a lot in High School during PE, but that was about it. Now I wish I had kept it up. But if I started now I'd end up giving myself two black eyes and I'm sure you can imagine why.. :rofl::rofl::eek:

Average wages and household income are invariably reported from the median, not the mean, for that very reason (it's a statistical phenomenon known as skewness). I can't imagine any source would report mean salary as "average".

I got it from the Daily Express yesterday. They were writing about an area in Kent that was the best place to live and their income was above the national average. I don't know how to paste on my iPad . Sorry.
Any more clues what the article was about? I searched on their Web page for Kent, salary, income, etc., etc. and couldn't find it. What was the name of the area? |

Yes, tablets don't quite work like laptops, do they? I get frustrated at the lack of functionality in my Asus, too.

Sally I hear you there, dont get me wrong I enjoyed life in Vegas, but I always dreaded the Summers coming so early and lasting so long, the heat of 112 to 118 just went on for so so many months, you get really tired of it, and on your days off its too hot to go out and do anything except maybe head to a Casino and enjoy there A/C but then Casinos get very boring after you have been in dodge for many years, and then october comes along and what a relief to see the temps going down to 100, and you know from then on it just gets cooler as the winter comes along, but the winters there are way too short,
So Yep me too Sally I am much happier in the cold and snow then unbearable desert heat, its a lot easier to get warm when its cold, then it is to get cool when its hot, I went with my Mum to her hairdressers today, she has her hair done with her 87 year old friend Molly every 6 weeks, I sit with them for a little while when they are waiting for there hairdresser, anyway Mums hairdresser today turns around to me and says ----- well how do you like this terrible weather were having over here? i said what!!! its lovely, and when I explained that I love the rain and the snow and the cold and that this weather is my favorite kind, and that I am most happy when its like this, and I said Ive had enough sun and heat in my life to last me a life time, well you can imagine she was quite puzzled at my response :) probably thought I was crazy ;) :lol: |

Celticspirit, I remember the cool mists of Scotland, too, and I actually think about them a lot and try to imagine them gently hitting my face :) I love it! Nature's own moisturizer :thumbup:
