There are far more 'stay at home' students across the UK due to the high cost of fees plus accommodation. A fair number of people also stay on in the area they study. I would guess somewhere between 30-50% of graduates will remain in the catchment area. Certainly I know of several Swansea graduates who are still in South Wales. I did my first degree in London and stayed there for a couple of years afterwards
Not a fan of JB. The small batch bourbon they had in Aldi last week (Jeffersons) is very good indeed and a good price, Better than MaKers Mark and about a tenner less. Only has a couple left in Neston last week though.
It is Ebola-related. The woman on the left as we looked at it was a Nigerian doctor who is considered to have acted to control the Nigerian outbreak at the cost of her life. Was in the Guardian a few days ago. Don't know the other sorry.
In the UK all the Northern cities are large but on a worldwide scale they are not. Having been to Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Bangkok and Addis Ababa they are tiddlers.
Puncture resistant gloves (there is no such thing as puncture proof) are about 30 quid a pair. Hardly at the top of a student shopping list. I know as I bought some for work last week.
Trevor Hicks must be one of the most dignified people in the UK. Losing both children at the same time, followed by the way the families were treated yet able to control anger whilst speaking about Hillsborough. I remember an interview he did with Nicky Campbell on Radio 5 a few years ago leaving me in tears.
