@pcar the International Students Survey was useless amateur stuff
Anyone could fill it in multiple times
Bet it was actually designed to provoke positive feedbacj.
UK universities are a mafia whose main profit is ripping off foreign students by selling them a dream that a UK education is great .. And then giving them a rip off prices.
Middlemen sell it to the students as one easy way of immigrating to "free sex" and opportunity continent.
I read it in the TES yesterday.

Also, it seems the "abandoned" boat was found by the US Coast Guard near Rochester, New York and was towed back to Canada.
I wouldn't want to be" Seb" right now.

Peel Police marine unit rescues sailboater on Lake Ontario during Friday’s windstorm
Turns out I know someone who is a co-worker of the fellow (Sebastian?) involved.
Co-workers: You didn't check the forecast?
Seb: I wasn't going out for long.
Yep! Mechanical problems,

Which proves it has negative value. I have no idea what your point is. First you decried as BS the tax; now you're defending it and deriding it. Remove posterior from fence.

In the past I wondered wondered about the bestowing of English, Scottish and Irish titles on recently married royals. It's been going on for a long time.
Duke (Duchess) ...Royals English title
Marquess (Marchioness) ...
Earl (Countess) ...Royals Scottish title
Viscount (Viscountess) ...
Baron (Baroness) ...Royals Irish title
Baronet (Baronetess) ...
Knight.
I came to this conclusion based on nothing at all: English titles are only good for England and so on, like the POTUS isn't president of anywhere else, so three are required as technically Wales and England have been one nation by right of conquest since the 13th century. The use of lesser titles is to show how the establishment ranks the member nations of the United Kingdom.
