It is a subject I've experience of that goes far beyond googling for a link.

Low dude, low.

Nah - you're a know-nothing bozo.

So you were talking tulip again.

Don't blame Scotland. It's just pooper being ignorant as per usual.

“Many schools will have a form of breakfast offering, but what that was would range from being not very nutritious, like a slice of toast, or being fee-paying."

Really??

So if I can't afford to pay for breakfast at home but I can afford to pay for it at school?

I think you're missing the point.

[Old Greg]

No they do not. You're expected to eat before attending school. We go to school for education, not eating.

It is the simple things that make a difference.

Breakfast clubs are plan B. Plan A is having meals with family.

And plan B above is only for primary schools.

Maybe they should take some 'lessons' from the devloped world, where schools are there to care for children's needs and routinely offer breakfast clubs. I didn't realise Scotland had such a poor education system, progressive utopia that it is.

There are children in the UK that go to school without Breakfast.

It's called "fasting". Are you not up to date with the latest dietary trends?

Hard to learn if you haven't eaten, unless what you want to teach the kids is that the state doesn't GAS that they haven't eaten.

[scooterscot]

There are. But far far fewer than in the past. It used to be the norm, now it's something we highlight.

Do Scottish schools not provide breakfast for such kids? Seems a poor kind of country.

And he wants us to take him seriously with his financial advice

Even poops can't be that thick!

[d000hg]

There are children in the UK that go to school without Breakfast and malnourished. It is a shameful state of affairs for a 1st world country. Yet we're spending billions on absolute sheet. Grew up in a poor household, the arguments, the shouting, always about money. Moved out the minute time and law would allow. That's no start to have.

If you're buying a house to have it as your home, a home that you'll keep for a long time, you don't give a crap about how much it's going to be worth in say 5 years.

Normal people don't always see everything as an investment in which you absolutely need to have a return.

People buy houses because they need houses.

I think they’ll care when they can’t afford the mortgage but can’t afford to sell either due to negative equity.
It’s not like 2007. More like early 90s.

I want to move now, but am waiting till the Covid/Brexit catastro**** has done its work.

Oh GTB. What have you done?
