Is Your Green Thumb Harming Your Preschooler?01 Aug 2009 06:54 AM You hardly have green thumbs if you are using pesticides. Aiming for Zero Waste31 Jul 2009 06:32 AM In the UK you have to recycle all of your waste, otherwise the council will not empty your bins. In some counties you have one bin for food waste and one for recycling, in other areas, like where I live you have a food waste box, a glass recycling box, a plastics recycling box and a paper recycling box. If people choose not to separate their waste their bin wont be emptied until they sort it into the right boxes.

Do Your Teens Fake Bake?31 Jul 2009 03:43 AM In the UK fake baking is what we call fake tans, as the spray on tans. The Conundrum of Plastic Grocery Bags29 Jul 2009 09:26 AM We only have plastic carrier bags in the UK, but most supermarkets and off licenses have biodegradable plastic bags, in NI you have to pay for all carrier bags, in Great Britain you don't, however you can buy thicker better bags for 10p, they are called a bag for life and when they break you just take it back to the shop and they give you a new one free of charge, then they are sent away for recycling. Long Engagements: Yay or Nay?29 Jul 2009 05:36 AM It was annoying mainly, we were quite hard up so we would put as much money away as we could for flights and accommodation, then when we were becoming really close to having enough, something would always come up, car repairs, boiler repairs the kind of things that always break down at the worst possible time. My, How Hospitals Have Changed!29 Jul 2009 02:18 AM They aren't allowed to use barcoded wrist bands in the UK as they are very unreliable, here nurses and doctors know their patients instead of treating them like tins of beans. We don't have laptop accessed medical records either, it is very irresponsible as anyone in the world can access them and make a nice shiny passport with your details. You have always needed to give such information when visiting patients in the UK, then the ward sister will ask the patient if they want to see you. Long Engagements: Yay or Nay?28 Jul 2009 12:15 PM We were engaged for 9 years before we got married, we couldn't afford to travel to the Netherlands to get married and then we generally couldn't afford anything, never mind £400 for a registry office. Pregnancy Tests for Students?28 Jul 2009 06:04 AM Schools give out pregnancy tests in the UK, at our school you have to be at least a week late for your period and you have to either show the school nurse or your form teacher the result, you have to take it in staff toilets as well so it cannot be passed onto another student. You can't get std tests at school here but the school nurse can book you an appointment at the local gum clinic. Here school nurses can, refer you to a doctor, give you advice on std's, give you a pregnancy test, offer counseling and refer you to a counsellor. Doctor surgeries must carry out treatments such as smear tests. In the UK we don't carry out pregnancy tests before giving vaccines. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 |
