Re: Thank you for your help!
Hi everyone,
Many of you have helped me gain at least a little insight on the British culture over the past couple of weeks. Thank you so much for your help. A special thanks goes to BritVic and Sally who endured questions from a Yank.
I came to this site as a result of a Google search as I tried to figure out where to begin on a school project, and today have been fortunate enough to have had good discussions and debates with many of you. I hope to have many more in the future.
My presentation was this evening and it went well. Many of my classmates appreciated the perspective many of you added to what would otherwise be a series of slides with little context.
Just wanted to send a little note to say thanks - it means a lot.

Has anyone heard of Tilley's candy? I handed out Cadbury's and Tilley's last night to everyone.

Re: Thank you for your help!
Will you be doing this presentation again for any reason? If so there are a couple of things you could change, but I won't go into full pedantic git mode if you're not using it again.

Re: Thank you for your help!
Ppt looks great, glad to hear it all went well. Just a too late FYI though.
Statutory paid maternity leave is 39 weeks, up to 52 weeks may be taken, the rest unpaid. Eleven weeks may be taken before the birth. Six weeks is at 90% of full pay, the rest at about 110 pounds a week. Unless your company offers better, many do.
I'd not have said anything but, the difference in attitudes and expectations is astounding when it comes to babies and post natal care. And pre-natal for that matter!
