The real question is, do Luxembourg and Liechtenstein exist? (Answer: Maybe.)
Luxembourg only exists because the French and Germans need somewhere to practice their army tactics.
Fuck the Tories
tbh anyone who self identifies/describes themselves asa "Leading Eurosceptic" is probably going to have terrible opinions, lots of them, and want to foist them all upon you

You know what other PepsiCo design I don't like, and never have? The 2005-present Doritos packaging:
No style there.
Maybe they should just use their UK logo

Also is it bad that when I saw the statement, "The UK is going to be the next Sodom and Gomorrah" I thought "Wow, are the Tory welfare cuts really that bad?"

The collective group of all the students in a particular grade at the same time would be a "class", re…
Easy way to remember: British year/form = American grade -1I think... We call year groups "forms". Like First Form is Y7.
Well thats confusing because we called first years "Y7"
Now I'm even more confused than I was 5 minutes ago.
Well, form groups when I was at school were only really used for stuff like registry purposes,sport days, fire alarm drills as the year group were divided into sets for subjects
