Had a lovely old mongrel beating dog back in the 90s who’d do anything you asked him but he’d always hide behind a tree. I swear blind he felt embarrassed.

I watched a dog in the yard the other day tee up on the wheel of a Porsche, done a wee reverse shuffle onto it

Is the voltage the same as the UK and Amps

Yes.
I don't know much about electric motors but I think I may have narrowed it down to a failed capacitor on the motor.
Put it this way, the motor runs as soon as it is plugged in, even with the pedal disconnected.

Nite all.
Got to be up stoopid early to deliver one of the other two dogs back to the vet for dental work.
The one who is left, the bright one, has spent a little time looking for Molly, poor thing.
So she'll be alone with us all day till we pick the other one back up.
They are both getting lots of cuddles.
Sleep tite folks
See yez

Not fun.
So that'll be next on the "fix me" list, for when it stops raining.
Thank the lord we have 2 cars over here, especailly as we are going to a jazz concert tonight 50 minutes away.
Have a good one folks!

I apologise profusely for my remarks about the GE being in the school holidays, of course Frogland's one is, but only in a few places like Scotland, bar Aberdeenshire, and of course for Public Schools, will the Brit kids acksherly be on holibobs!
And me an ex state school teacher too. shows how long I have been retired and in France for the summer.

Massive "Duuuuuuuh"

And, so it would appear according to one rather not well known Youtube news channel, it is thought that Tory voters will be lots of ones missing out due to the Postal Votes debacle.

So I am now officially cancelling yesterday and starting a new combined chewsday/wodinsday!

To make amends, here is a nice thing to read:

Mornin
Bright side of dull today
Takin friends garden rubbish to the tip today, if they'll let me in with the truck
Making spare wheel carrier if I have time
Sold motorcycle so need to modify my bike trailer before weekend as it's rubbish
Nothing else in the diary although lots to do
Stay alert all

Glad you sold your bike.

Eye always fort private education was good. It took the pressure oft normal schools and helped thems a bit cleverer. Some private schools let normal schools use their sports fings. Or hand over books and kit they dun't need. But then eye realised its buying an advantage for yer kid because yer got the sovs to do it. That makes it unfair.

On your first point, it doesn't, cos schools only receive money per pupil. So it cannot help ornery schools, in fact if it "creams" the school like local grammars do it makes things worse. The school I taught in was creamed by two grammars and a few private schools. Creaming removes the incentive and/ or role models of intellingent hardworking pupils, in which case being a "boff" is seen as not being "cool" so bright kids quickly learn to disguise their abilities for fear of being bullied. This only reverses in the 6th form.

Scholarships/exhibitions/bursaries are a way of helping the impecunious send their offspring to them and the armed forces always helped parents or their peeps send them to them, which quite surprised me when I realised how many of my mates' dads were "Major this" or "Captain that" or even lower ranks.
But there are few scholarships in any public school, they are achieved through competitive exams and only the (yes there is usually only one) Open scholarship pays the fees in full, then there will be a couple of majors a couple of minors an exhibition or two and in my school a cash prize! which made me laugh!

But I cannot agree with you more about the unfairness of rich peeps being able to buy an educartion for their kids. This led to a full blown row with my mother, the fee-payer who asked if I wanted her to "take me away". I'd have said "yes" if it wasn't for the fact that enjoyed the activities in the school, like the sport and I hated her and didn't want to go back to living at home!
Should have done though, I'd have achieved more!

If they closed private schools today, more kids would go to normal schools tomorrow. The sovs per pupil would not rise. The gov and council would not give over more sovs. Class sizes would rise. So normal schools would be worse oft.
