Well in my case, my fiance agrees with me. I couldn't be arsed with someone absolutely desperate to spend our house deposit on 'vegetarian options' and photographers. Hopefully CoVID will make folk realise that all this stuff is unnecessary. Though I suspect the opposite will happen and massive amounts will be spent on weddings when the restrictions are eased fully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so when you're having to do it at some two bit "junior" club that was lucky to get 60 folk there in non covid times * *speaking of the two near me To be fair this is Kello hosting Auchinleck so it's possible they could get close to the limit if there's lots of Talbot fans wanting to see their team play for the first time in a year. I would understand if you're in a room with half a dozen people for an hour, you need everyone's name/number to get in touch with them so they can self-isolate. But if you're socially distanced outdoors at a football match and you later test positive, what are Test & Protect going to do - ask the club for everyone's details? Or just ask you who was standing close to you - "my pal Dave, and some other guy I've never met before". Not like the club are going to know the location in the ground of every name on their list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decide to have a coffee in Morrisons fill out a form. Mental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Hospital data in England showing changes in the last week. Cases were up by around 30% if I remember correctly. Outside of a large spike in ventilator beds in the North West, which unfortunately have doubled, everywhere else is flat. I do wonder if we'll end up with another Johnson v Burnham bunfight over this. Edited June 1, 2021 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously suggesting that having a mountain of holiday time compared to the vast majority of professions is not only not a key driver for why people choose the role, but is in fact actually a negative of the job? It's clearly a perk of the job. The fact that holidays are fixed offsets it a bit, but the perk remains significant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Yeah I don't really think we, as teachers, can really complain about holidays. It's a bit of a pain in the arse that holidays are more expensive at that time and there's not any flexibility, but anyone with kids could say the same thing if they were trying to go away - provided they don't pull them from school in term time, which they're not supposed to do... I'm not looking for sympathy but there's also the fact that we aren't paid for all the holidays - we get 40 days. Certainly not to be sniffed at by any stretch, but not the full whack that many think it is. It's swings and roundabouts, to be honest. Non-teachers say we get loads of time off, we can say we have to work lots of unpaid overtime. It probably all balances out over the course of a year. Some of the unions can be a bit embarrassing though - last October when they were complaining that it wouldn't be fair on teachers if there was a lockdown during the half-term was misjudged at best. It would've been shite for everyone. Edited June 1, 2021 by super_carson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our annual salary is just split evenly over 12 months so we get the same pay each month. If you're on a temporary contract it can be a bit different though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
