Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the

The period when there is a noticeable difference is about 8am to 8.45am.
Was this a labour idea then? I mean that you start secondary school now in year 7 and finish in year 6.
I think labour learned to count in the same place the person responsible for numbering versions of Windows.
you see to start at year 7 makes no sense at all. not when you have had 7 years education before hand. unless the first year of infant school is now called Year 0.
Infant school is 3 years (we called them class 1, class 2 and Class 3,
then junior school is another 4 (junior 1, junior 2, juniour 3 and junior 4)
Now pay attention to this bit Labour (its important) 3 + 4 = 7. so to be logical you must start secondary school in the 8th year of your education (year 8)
however if that is too complicated we could always have infant 1-3, Junior 1-4, then 1st-5th year secondary, suceeded by college or 6th form, wow what a good idea that would be.
