Indeed it is. One of the schools in the merge had a terrible reputation
while the other had quite a good one. The idea it seems to have been that
one would moderate / help the other.
The statement about other schools in Medway is very misleading- some schools
have such problems but far from all of them or even a majority.
There was a lot of controversy over the merge but the plan went ahead. Some
people are very "anti" academies. I'm not, although I agree they are a
"political construction" intended as much as anything to make it look like
something "big" is being done. Huge sums of money are poured into the
academies which I'm not convinced is always wisely spent and the underlying
issues are not simply related to a lack of money.

Is that the same as a Grammar school for those who didn't pass the 11 plus
but whose parents had money?

It probably explains the chip on your shoulder. Spending you life resenting
the fact that others had some "advantage" you didn't is pretty pointless and

A guy's doing a PhD in sheep shagging. He goes off touring Britain
finding out how people do it in different areas. First he goes up to
Aberdeen. He goes into a pub, buys a drink, and asks the barman where he
can find the sheep shaggers. The barman points to the darkest, dingiest
corner of the pub.
So he goes over to this corner and gets talking to the guys there. Once
there he says:
* Actually I'm doing a thesis on sheep shagging, so could you tell me,
how do you do it around here?
* Well we put on wellies, go into a field, and we grab a sheep. Then we
shove its hind legs down into the wellies so it can't get away, and shag it.
Next he goes down to Cumbria and goes into a pub in Keswick. He asks the
barman where the local sheep shaggers hang out, and he points to the
darkest, dingiest corner. So he goes over to the corner, and asks the guys:
* Excuse me but I'm doing a thesis on sheep shagging, so would you mind
telling me, how do you do it around here?
* Well we put on wellies and go out into a field looking for sheep. When
we find a sheep we shove its hind legs down into the wellies, then shag it.
He then decides to see what they do in Wales, so he takes a trip to
Aberystwyth. There he finds a dodgy looking pub, and asks the barman
where he can find the local sheep shaggers. Once again, the barman
points to the darkest, dingiest corner of the pub. So he goes over and asks:
* Excuse me, I'm doing a thesis on sheep shagging. Could you tell me how
you do it in this area?
* Well, bach, we go out into a field looking for sheep. When we find one
we grab it around the waist, hold it as tight as possible so it won't
get away, and shag it.
* But, why don't you just shove its hind legs down inside your wellies?
Wouldn't that be easier?
* What, no kissing?!

I was sent to a state paedophile ring ^H^H^H grammar sKool as punishment

I remember the Top Gear (before Clarkson and co took over) test of the
Fiesta CVT. The presenter driving it demonstrated that it was not
possible to move off when unladen other than the driver if parked on a
1:4 hill. I don't know what engine size it was but the gearbox used a
steel-link belt as opposed to the original DAF Variomatic gearbox which
used a rubber/cloth belt.

Yes, but some insurers insist that they are purchased through the
repairer who does the work and they often simply buy through the local
dealer for the manufacturer.
Some time ago my previous car (Vauxhall) was involved in a minor shunt
and ended up being repaired at the place specified by my insurer. That
was actually the local Mercedes-Benz dealer. They bought the parts at
the local Vauxhall dealer at trade price and then added their own,
higher, MErcedes-Benz margins on to this, so the cost of repair was much
higher than it would otherwise have been. Better still, since they
weren't experienced in the particular repair needed, they had to employ
a Vauxhall bod for a day to show them how to do it!
Crazy or what?

Well oddly I had the exact discussion with mine about 8 or 9 years ago
because I couldn't believe what their requirements were for a repair
done to my previous car. I ended up with Vauxhall-supplied parts being
fitted to a Vauxhall at a Mercedes-Benz garage, this garage had to
borrow a Vauxhall-dealer employee because they didn't have the
information or tools to do part of the repair.
--
Brian
Yeti
Yeah, if they're repairing it as part of an insurance claim - the
discussion was, I believe, about routine replacement of parts.
Example - I had a mate who had his car seized for no insurance. It was
insured, so the police tried to cover their backside by claiming the
insurance was void because he hadn't declared a bunch of
'modifications'. Both myself and the insurance companies rep in court
explained that the 'modified' parts were fitted as no OEM parts were
available at a reasonable price or timescale. The insurers were happy
to cover it as it was, and the case was kicked out of court, leaving
the cops with egg on their face and 10 months storage charges at the
recovery company to pay for.
The weird one with repairs being done by the insurer is they can
invalidate your warranty with the manufacturer - a bodywork repair,
for example, can end up being done by a specialist tied to the
insurers, instead of the main dealer - this leaving your precious anti-
corrosion warranty worth absolutely sod all.

Agreed - Gates are by far the best.
I had a belt shear it's teeth on my last VW LT35 van - but thankfully
it was the pump belt, with is on the back of the engine, and only
drives the injection pump off the cam - the front belt had been done,
but not the back one.
The belts on my current LT50 were done about 15 months/2000 miles ago.

Because, like my car, despite having a duplex chain cam drive and being
properly lubricated, the chain and associated parts had to be replaced
less than 1,000 miles over the warranty mileage limit due to excessive
wear. The manufacturer contributed 33% of the cost as they admitted that
it shouldn't have done that, but as a part known to wear they couldn't
pay for all of it as some wear was expected. The service manual does not
specify a chain replacement mileage or period.
Belts are often no good, chains are often no good either. Welcome to the
wonderful world of motoring.

Chains break too.
Corsa C 3 cylinder
VW Sharan V6
both known for breaking REALLY early
Skoda 1.3 - rattles after around 35-40K, only cure is replacement - 3
hours labour, £19 in parts for chain and both sprockets.
Saab 9-3, 9-5, 9000 chain wears excessively, rattles, expensive parts
to repair
Also, chains make doing the cylinder head a major pain in the ass.
I replaced a chain on a Corolla about 18 months ago due to stretch - I
don't remember how long it took me, but I do remember not finishing
until around 10pm!
