Why not? I remember at school we had once a fortnight a double lesson called Domestic Science which although was primarily cooking, also taught you the basics of looking after a household. The room ws full of cookers, some washing machines, irons and other household implements. I presume they don't do this at school anymore?Originally posted by VectraMan View PostPoor going hungry because they can't cook, says Tory peer - Telegraph
There you are: cooking lessons.

The media love to portray all those in poverty as scumbag parasites. The reality is that many are in real hardship through bad luck coupled with maybe a few bad decisions. Some foodbank customers are in work - but are so badly paid they need the extra help.
Yes - but we're not just talking about Scots here. The question covers the whole of the UK, which the majority of your countrymen voted to stay in.Originally posted by scooterscot View Postonly when they quit their:

Yes, big ones.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostAlmost all those on the street are nothing to do with money. Its other issues.I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful.
