My spelling ect is shite-

 

 

but I do know the difference between forcible & foreseeable ?

 If you wear expensive ship then they can foresee it being stolen

My cousin had a heavy gold chain ripped off in punch up,

 

It was recorded as a crime at the time, months later he found out his house insurance provided cover....

 

Cue photographic proof of him looking like Mr T in borrowed jewellery ?

 

Local rags regularly post articles online with obvious spelling errors like this.

I ain't the best at English grammer but I can spot typos and bad spelling. I didn't go to Uni and study English, PR or Journalism either...

My next door neighbour at my old house went to uni and ended up working there. My son is just about to graduate but isnt looking to work in the industry he graduated in. I hope that that may change and I am sure he will make use of his £50k debt degree eventually. He is looking to work for himself selling stuff. 

I hear a lot of people say "student debt". The way they seem structured now it's more like a mortgage with a rate based from your income, I think it would more beneficial mentally to think of it that way than a "debt".

 

I've no issue with students paying back for their uni education, a fair way imo rather than everyone else paying for it. As you say it's only paid back at a percentage over a certain amount of earnings (9% of outstanding debt when you hit 28k or thereabouts) 

 

I could count on one hand the people from my school who went onto uni but nowadays it's the norm so dilutes the talent pool imo. 

 

There's also the cost of accommodation and living if they don't qualify for a grant and for a couple of years we were paying over £1.2k pcm just for accommodation. 

 

As I say, I have no issues with those who benefit paying back providing those who can't afford it are subsidised to go in the first place. 

*eta, not talent pool, more the prestige of going. 

Imo it's the cream that go to uni. If everyone goes it's just another a level. 

However I was intrigued on the t level. Didn't know if it and seems a good idea

I thought it had become that, definitely not the cream going to uni these days , anyone can get a degree and anyone can get a master's
