I could have appealed but couldn't be arsed.
My English teacher questioned my mark, because they thought I'd cheated lol! What can I say I'm a legend beat the top performer in class

I don't make it a habit to fight the elderly.
Robyn is wearing shorts. This fact scares her slightly.

Are you playing tennis or cleaning cars?
Neither, but cleaning cars is quite fun.

Me too, but with leggings underneath.
That's usually me, hence scared.
I hate leggins.
It's more likely tights for me actually. Now it looks like I'm just fawning over Chip. Eep.

And do sums...
And it would be really nice if as part of doing sums, they taught kids the basics of commercial transactions, i.e what is an invoice, a statement, a cheque etc. and what is the sequence in which they are used.

I recently had two credit card bills to pay. £57.34 and £14.05. The young lady cashier in the Co-op Bank had to find a calculator before she could process the transactions.
