Ohh, I remember getting Wedge tomatoes from a farmer's market in Malta... Heavenly on a slice of bread, with olive oil and some cheese. What I'm saying is, they're not all the same, though most of what's on offer here in Norway is bland and watery too. We're not in the EU either, but I haven't noticed any shortages.

We're not in the EU either, but I haven't noticed any shortages. That's the reason why we call those things Dutch water bags. To be fair, you get what you pay for. But even the pricey stuff is not so much better. There's no good replacement for sunshine and keeping those things on the plant till they are ripe, I guess.

Derfel Cadarn Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Shortages may last until May, as UK growers delay planting due to high energy costs. Thanks, Tories! meanwhile there are photographs from Europe, the Canary Islands, even war-torn Kherson, Ukraine, of amply stocked shelves of fruit and veg. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64743704 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel Cadarn Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Fucking hell! A Merseyside school is making its girls enter separately from the boys, and line up to have their skirts inspected by teachers -including male teachers! - to ensure they are not too short. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-64743377 Pupils are protesting , including male pupils wearing skirts over their uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine if they want to make sure only female teachers do it, but I don’t have a problem with a school having a strict uniform policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to speak with individuals breaching the policy - a minority - that’s one thing. Separating every girl from the achool from the boys, lining them up and then inspecting each girl’s skirt (by male teachers in some cases!) is appalling. Must be horrible and awkward for the (non-pervert) teachers too. Just because it happened while you were at school doeant nake it right. When inwas at school, I remwmber my sister complaining of a male PE teacher walking into the girl changing rooms while they were changing. Same teacher invited the boys to come by PE dept for a shower at lunchtime, as “that was when he had his shower”. We declined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartofice Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Yeah totally, I bet we all have stories of creepy teachers doing dodgy stuff at school, that sort of thing used to happen all the time too. Thats why I'd not want male teachers doing the inspecting. But otherwise.. not sure I see the problem. Describing it as "appalling" seems like hyperbole to me. A bit of discipline and attention to rules is something modern kids could do with a bit more of. We are already raising a generation of attention seeking pushovers, if they can't take something as simple as a uniform inspection then what the hell is going on. 25 minutes ago, Spockydog said: Most school uniforms round my way appear to have been designed by paedophiles. Quite. If its a choice between uniform inspections and everyone thinking they are in a Britney Spears video, I know which answer I'd choose.

Pebble thats Stubby Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 and if you feel that short skirt lenghts are causing a distraction you really should educated the distracted that she was asking for it cos of what she wore is not an excuse. and if you want equality then make the uniform Trousers for all.

BigFatCoward Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Honestly, the shit I see and hear about at work, a slightly short skirt is absolutely the last thing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
