REMINDER! Lesson tomorrow!

Dear all!

Please remember that there are lessons tomorrow for UKOK. Group 1G I have moved your class to 10.00 til 12.00 with the hope that more people will come and so I can help Marlies with the vocabulary resit in the afternoon.

Please make sure you've read the blogs for the people doing their debates tomorrow and have some ideas/an opinion in you head!

Signing off, Kate.

Cream or Jam First?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/8693450.stm



It's not quite as fundamental as the chicken or egg question, but when it comes to making the perfect scone, it's a decision you have to make. Personally, and I have plenty of experience with this, it entirely depends on the consistency of the cream. They have to sit on top of each other without mixing, thus the heaviest, densest, thickest... has to come first. Therefore, if we're discussing the proper, quintessential cream tea involving nothing but the best clotted cream, well then obviously it has to be cream first!

The best way to prove this theory is to try it. It tastes good too :)

Some Dutch for thought!

Dear all,

A little article Koen came across and I thought I'd share with you as it seems topical. It's also interesting to see that there are still some Brits that can speak a second language!
