Re: You Couldn't make it up.
Education is a thing of the past now.
Spent 14 years working in a uni and saw the students who came for the teacher education course.
If that is the future of education then the world is well and truly stuffed.
These would be the ones who developed the WOKE style we are now cursed with.
Next Friday there will be marches for the 'Climate change' what ever.
Many schools have agreed to allow a school free day do the students can attend.
Beam me up Scotty!!!!!

It is like calling the cells in a police station The Custody Suite. I wonder do they have to dress for dinner? No doubt they will also have en suite facilities. no longer a bucket in the corner.

They dont want to upset the visitors unnecessarily by calling it a cell block, or maybe the authorities do have a sense of humour. My local club has a room for the younger members with a juke box and dart board and has been called "E" wing (as in Durham nick high security) for as long as I can recall.
