I suppose it probably seems strange to an outsider but in a country where it’s the norm for every school, it didn’t feel like that to me at all. I see it more as an equaliser? In a way I also kind of miss not having to decide what to wear every day.
Honestly, my main concern about school uniforms is that I think they ought to be standardised and subsidised, because the expense can sometimes be a problem.

Even if you take the morals/integrity out of it, I’d be so embarrassed to admit to even a trivial association with HP these days. God forbid 🥴
Anything that pushes up demand without increase in supply has an inevitable and unfortunate result… bigger mortgages are definitely part of that.
I’m British 🤷♀️ not saying it was the case everywhere but it was possible/within reach for a fair amount of people here, or at least one full time and one part time working parent.

I thought so too! I just thought there could potentially be other places in the world that looked very similar that I don’t know about. I’m a Londoner 😆 and that many wheelie bins instantly makes me think it’s houses divided into flats… a landlord special round here.
(For some bizarre reason when I first looked at the picture, I did not see the green bit as green at all. It looked grey and the road looked red-purple, not unlike some bus lanes). Now that I see the green, bike lanes down here are indeed green, but they might also just be regular tarmac with the white painted bicycle painted every now and then… unless it’s a ‘cycle superhighway’ of course, in which case it’s blue 😵💫
not to be pedantic but is this the uk? 👀 on the right it looks like there’s the grey back of a road sign. plus the houses, wheelie bins, the cracked concrete paving and red-purple tarmac all scream british to me
I looooved K’nex when I was a young girl, would recommend
Great summary! I’ve been watching Just Have A Think (aka Dave) for a while. Really enjoy his videos. IMO he’s got a good balance of optimism and pragmatism.
or indeed just any part of the world that isn’t the continental US, Canada or Mexico 😅
