Hi from GB. Privatise Mail? Don't do it!!! Royal Mail was split off from Post Ofiice (the shop front for gov services) and recently sold off to a Czech oligarch. The service is now ridiculously expensive and post gets lost or takes ages. Terrible service.

Too many ICE (and hybrid) car adverts on TV. Should be treated the same way as tobacco advertising.

Not to mention all the extra CO2 generated during construction - a vast area in a highly congested part of the country.

This table certainly shows the cost of other European and G7 countries from the gov.uk website.

This clearly needs sorting out. As both a teacher (retired) and a parent I can see both sides. There needs to be more of a partnership between parents and schools.
Some learners may benefit from a break - but for some the loss of a key part of curriculum could have serious long term disadvantages.
