@banks_chef Chef you should be adding vat on top of your price - steak is £20 add the 20% on , so you sell for £24, therefore in simple your example you are breaking even (as you haven’t added a margin)

VAT in Hospitality! And why we need it changed.
We buy our food in zero vat rated and as soon as we sell it within our restaurant VAT is added. So in simple terms when we buy a steak in at £20 (for example) and sell that steak at £20 we only reveive £16 as £4 goes to VAT.

@LewisYNWA @AFC_Monty_ Can’t believe how bad Liverpool have been and it’s only a 10 point lead. Unbelievable.
English
Liverpool had a 5 point lead in GW5.
Fast forward 10 games.
Arsenal are now 10 points above them in GW15.
30 points available during those 10 games and Arsenal got 15 more points than Liverpool.
“Arsenal should be ashamed”
Connor@connoruru
@SeanDOlfc The fact we’re only 10 points off them is something they should be ashamed of

Sam Coates interviews George Galloway after Rishi Sunak's speech at Downing Street:
GG, "We're talking about little Rishi Sunak in the fag end of his prime ministership. Don't talk to me as if he has come down from the Mount with tablets of stone. As if the things he says are meant to awe me"
At the end, the crowd with Galloway start chanting "Free free Palestine" and then Sky News cut away

@DHTDurrant @75ThunderRoad If the anxiety led to a medical emergency.
English
@jonibarnes @75ThunderRoad You're going to take a child who can't go to school because of anxiety to A&E??
English
“There’s no help coming. It’s just ‘try harder’.”
Or as my G’father used to tell me “The world does not owe you a living.”
How privileged and spoilt are we? Go to India, Africa, South America…there IS no help coming. I know children who’d do ANYTHING to have a school to go to.

So why are parents so upset and angry about the @educationgovuk attendance campaign? It’s because it reveals how the DfE thinks about parents of children who are struggling to attend school, and shows how very little they understand of the causes of school attendance difficulties. The posters all have same format. A child complains about something in the morning - worries, a stomach ache, or a runny nose but ‘look at her/him now!’, with a picture of a happy child in school uniform. The message to parents is clear. The DfE thinks they are ‘too soft’ and just need to push a bit past their children’s resistance to get into a place where they will be happy - school. Children might complain but it’s not serious. They’ll ’be fine’. This is a message which parents are used to hearing. ‘They’re fine once they’re here’ is so common as to be a cliche amongst parents with children who beg them every evening not to send them to school the next day or who protest every morning. Schools don’t see the problems and so they assume that they aren’t happening. For parents who are struggling every morning to get their children into school - and then dealing with highly distressed children after school - these posters confirm their suspicions that everyone thinks this is their fault. They are just not ‘good parents’. It confirms that no one believes them when they say that their child is deeply distressed by school and that the problem isn’t home. These parents already feel blamed, and these posters add more shame. They do nothing to address or even mention the reasons why so many children are struggling to attend. The DfE thinks they know why there’s a problem - it’s parents who believe their kids and who don’t push them into school hard enough. To the parents who have been asking for support but who are met with long waiting lists and high thresholds for CAMHS, along with fixed penalty fines for poor attendance, this confirms what they already felt. There’s no help coming. It’s just ‘try harder’.

@DHTDurrant @75ThunderRoad The same place if you get knocked down by a car or break a leg.
English
@75ThunderRoad Yes, I am well aware. I just don't really know where people think all the required support is going to come from.

@Godfreybird_1 @75ThunderRoad So good to hear that a fresh approach is working. My son started secondary school in sept. We were hopeful that this school would be better. It’s to early to judge but our last visit/meeting with staff was disappointing.
English
@jonibarnes @75ThunderRoad 2/2. We have been supported from the first visit and we are now 12 months from her moving. For us, the different approach from this school has helped massively. There are still anxious days, but we know if we ask for help, so far it has been there.

Here's a message from a parent in a community I belong to, for parents whose children are struggling.
The "advice" here isn't uncommon.
It is, however, wrong & very dangerous.
It's like making a child stare at a fire & thinking they'll eventually want to walk into the flames.
English
@jonibarnes @75ThunderRoad I’m sorry. I know how awful it is to experience for you and your son.
English
@75ThunderRoad Knowing your story makes the words/advice you give on here even more meaningful. I hope that if it’s what you want you get back into education, it needs people like you.

I tested positive for Covid two years ago today.
It's amazing how your life can change in a moment.
Here's a blog about my new life. It's about health, hope and learning to see things differently.

@75ThunderRoad @firebug70 I wish I had thought of that analogy at the time! the size doesn’t matter all his friends are in this school so in our opinion they are our best hope.

@jonibarnes @firebug70 It's so frustrating, isn't it?
Back in January, a senior member of staff at my daughter's school, suggested that we should consider a smaller school.
It's like telling someone with a broken leg to try running a different route!
English
@firebug70 @75ThunderRoad Today we attended a meeting with school to discuss my son - who hasn’t yet attended his new high school. The hope was to discuss new strategies to work on progress made so far. Instead we were ambushed by the attendance officer and asked if we had considered a smaller setting.
English
@75ThunderRoad Thank you, I'm so sorry that your daughter has also experienced unexpected issues with school. I hope that change is on the way. Greater understanding and compassion for all those who experience difficulties with attending school is woefully overdue.
