Fine when your fare was a quid. A bit rubbish when it's £7!

I was a bit perplexed for a moment as I had holding a £5 (fare enough for a £4 fare?). Had to tip my wallet out for every scrap of change I had. Think I had about £3.96 but the driver took pity issued the ticket anyway. Also looked lost when the ticket printed out of a box mounted about shoulder height on the cab wall!

I have no compunction about handing over a tenner for a £7 fare (driver should be glad it's a tenner, since most of the Lloyds cashpoints dish out mostly twenties), so a fiver for £4 is fair enough, yes!

Ooo controversial. Can't tell you how many unwanted packets of polo mints I've bought over the years to get change for the bus. Bring on contactless card payments for buses!

I use mobile tickets on my phone when I can and keep it stocked up with the £7 day tickets (same price as a return to Durham from where I live) but I don't like doing that if I'm travelling to certain areas as the mobile reception around parts of Teesside is terrible and drains the battery on my dual SIM phone in no time. And typically, none of the buses I'd catch over that way have charging points.
I am very considerate and do hand over £20.20 when I buy Big'un and myself explorer tickets, which come to £18.20, though

The fact that I never have to do a proper lesson of RE ever again
I wouldn't say it was a waste of 5 years but it was definitely boring.

I am VERY jealous because I am in Y7 at a Catholic school so I have much more to come...
Much rather drop PE, art or history though

Same here. There was no way that i was taking PE - i have biology for learning about the body muscles etc and if i want to know how to play certain sports, my friend Google can tell me the answers.
I'll still need to do a lesson a week of general RE next year as part of going to a Catholic Sixth Form but the main school examined RE is now over and done with.

I always try and hand over the correct change if possible, but if it comes down to it, I'll pay with whatever notes I have on me. Until such time that operators invest in contactless payment, then it's going to have to be a necessary evil.

Really pleased at how my doodles turned out.

I go to a Catholic High school and I do:
CAD 1x per fortnight
DT 3x per fortnight
Drama 2x per fortnight
Science 6x per fortnight
History 3x per fortnight
geography 3x per fortnight
RE 4x per fortnight
Music 2x per fortnight
English 6x per fortnight
Maths 6x per fortnight
Spanish 3x per fortnight
French 3x per fortnight
PE 4x per fortnight
Art 2x per fortnight
The life of a Y7 pupil :s
Add to that 5x Versas and 20x metros

I'm guessing CAD is similar to IT (i can only relate it to Graphics where CAD means Computer Aided Design)?
My lessons in Year 7 seem to be pretty similar to yours. Using the same timescale, i had:
2x IT, 4x DT, 6x Science, 6x English, 6x Maths, 4x RE, 6x History/Geography (2:4 ratio for half the year before splitting - collectively branded 'Humanities'), 2x Music, 4x PE, 2x Art, 2x Spanish, 2x French.

Bit late to reply like but you have some skill - really like them! I'd love to be able to just draw like that but stick men is about as far as I can get...

Technically yesterday now, but... Finally caught one of these in Darlington working a early morning run to Middlesbrough.
