Re: Thank you for your help!
Just looked through you PPT and thought it was very good, although I haven't heard anyone apart from American tourists referring to British police as "bobbies" for several decades. 
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.

That's one reason why I chose that.

I think it's an age thing 
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!

I dont hear it as a term used to refer directly to policemen, or about an individual policeman. But you do hear, I think we should have bobbies on the beat quite a lot.

Yesterday was awful, in addition to this we had to turn in a handbook (25 pages) on another country which someone else in my group worked on. Talk about butchering the English language. I corrected it for 4 hours then finally had to sigh and throw my hands up.

Does your school also have Mac's? The Mac uses a program called 'Keynote' to view and make powerpoint slides. By default it allows you to save your slideshow in seven different formats. Microsoft prefer you to use their own format - thereby strengthening the monopoly they hold on presentation formats.
