i expect they meant flimsy shoes from primary/ new look etc not excluding Clark’s and proper shoe shops.I knew I was an adult when I willingly went into Clarks to buy suitable shoes because I knew they were good for my feet
I’m glad I’m not the only one who found that incredibly elitist. I don’t think I could name any shoe brands which I couldn’t buy on the high street
Yeah it's really weird. But basically those "nothings" are different words. There's a "nothing" that's a pronoun, and one that's an adverb.Weird cause for me the last sentence means you are reproaching something because of the double negation. ive always found double negations very confusing anyway so I avoid using them, be it in French or English.
"Depending on context, nothing is either nothing, emptyness, or something"Yeah it's really weird. But basically those "nothings" are different words. There's a "nothing" that's a pronoun, and one that's an adverb.
Could that be translated as "a void"?"one empty" (un vide) instead of emptyness, but "empty" is not a noun in english so... Google tells me "a hole" but that's not exactly it.
In Nederland hebben we wel privé onderwijs, maar dat is vrij ongebruikelijk. Meestal zijn dat ook Britse of Amerikaanse scholen of streng religieus onderwijs.I think her political views are very close to my own family’s political views. My mum’s family is very posh, but without a whole lot of money, and they’re very snobbish. They still vote either social liberal or leftist parties. People who vote right wing are definitely looked down upon. The biggest difference between our families is probably the lack of money (My family isn’t poor, just average), so we aren’t completely shut of off normal life. Oh and I’m Dutch, so private schools are not a thing at all here
Loved all of this post!In bulgarian they gender last names.
”Always moving forward”? Rubens didn’t get the memo, or maybe the marketing people at PC were inspired by her subsequent stagnation and have come up with that slogan since she left
This advert for the school that Ruby went too is so pretentious, the girls in it are like little Ruby clones. These fuckers are setting up franchises of Ruby's
lmao these people are truly living in a different world. Imagine having gone to school with all those facilities, even a nice indoor pool and perfect-looking science labs, it's a different level of privilege. Makes me feel sorry for myself having gone to a crusty village school with bits falling off the asbestos-filled 60s buildings, dictionaries being thrown at teachers, and always being told to use everything 'sparingly'

Yikes. Not a school I would have fit in at

was the asbestos classrooms a universal comprehensive experience then, my maths block was shut down in year 8 because they found some lmaolmao these people are truly living in a different world.

also love that they picked what's probably the only 3 minority ethnic girls in the school to do the ad, so inclusive x
Mine were the same temporary ones that my dad had when he was at the School... And they were old even thenDon't forget the porta cabins that were suppose to be temporary but we're there the whole five years
I swear this is something you'd see on Little Britain

I think the money make a huge difference tho! That's what politics is all about, after all. I don't know what the parties are in England. But I'm pretty sure Ruby's parents are right wingers. "Socially on the left but fiscally on the right" type of people. Wich means you are on the right lmao. People associate right wing with conservatives nowadays, and that's absolutely not what it means. We are pretty sure her dad does tax evasion right?I think her political views are very close to my own family’s political views.

Jaa true,, maar ik ken eigenlijk vrij weinig mensen die op het privé onderwijs zitten, behalve kinderen van te rijke ouders die havo of vwo niet konden halen... maar dat de prinsessen gewoon op een niet-privé school zitten, zegt wel ietsIn Nederland hebben we wel privé onderwijs, maar dat is vrij ongebruikelijk. Meestal zijn dat ook Britse of Amerikaanse scholen of streng religieus onderwijs.
Yeah, I think her mum ones said something about caring for refugees, but I can’t see her actually doing anything for them!!I think the money make a huge difference tho! That's what politics is all about, after all. I don't know what the parties are in England. But I'm pretty sure Ruby's parents are right wingers.

I don't know anything about her parents. But they give me huge vibes of people who would give money to charity but vote against a party that want to end poverty (somehow) if it means they have to give up their mansion and privilege.
The fact she went to a private school alone. And people go to private school for all reasons, my bf went to a private school because his parents are immigrants and they came to Canada to give him the best life possible, I get that (still don't agree but I get it).
But if you're rich. And believe that your kids deserve "better" education because you are rich. I find that very despicable.
I live in the french part of Canada, and Canada was first colonized (horribly yes, I'm not talking about that part) by the french, then the english. And french is the official language here. But people from english descent have HUGE (literally the priciest house in all Canada is in the english district of my province, also, one of Trudeau's minister own it lmao) generational wealth. And they have their own private school in english for primary and secondary school. Somehow they often avoid making their kids learn french. When it's the law, immigrant's kids have to learn french, it's mandatory, but english peoples's kids often avoid it because it's fine if one of the parent can speak french, we somehow assume they'll learn it at home.
And idk about where you guys live, but here, there is very little founding for the education system, teachers are always on strike, many, many schools are bordeline disgusting, kids with disabilities get little to no help if they get diagnosed at all...
Anyways. I really don't like people like Ruby, who always talk about how education is a gift and all that shit. Because it doesn't fuckin have to be Ruby, and some countries (like Germany, as you said) already have free education, it's not like a crazy socialist dream.
Why doesn't she talk about how it should be accessible to everybody instead of "such a great gift". That's fuckin annoyin.
