I bought a juicing machine a while back and started experimenting with various ingredients with Beets being one of them. This may sound really daft but I never knew that Beets were actually purple once you cut into them. I don't know why but I just assumed the colour was added when the vinegar was added.

Bit of a revival

Quite surprised to read in the parking thread from Ironside that blue badges cost £40.  Seems excessive. I can get a bit of a charge but £40 seems a bit OTT.  I assume that's per year? 

I didn't realise until this week that schools paid council rates.  That seems illogical too.

Not all schools, private schools don't...

Really?  Now that's just plain wrong isn't it?    I'm even more shocked now.

Do you think that Schools should not have to pay Graham ?

I don't think so no.  Mainly because of the way schools are funded in the first place.  They're given money from the councils who then take it away?  Schools always seem to be having funding issues.  I only found out because it's been in the news that council rates are increasing by a lot this year and it was mentioned that schools will suffer.   There should be certain places that don't pay - schools, NHS Hospitals, Fire Stations etc etc - I don't know if the others pay rates or not, but they shouldn't be if they are.

It's even more strange that private schools are exempt.

I think all charities are exempt, so they can't pick and choose the charities.  It would be easier to just exclude all schools from business rates.  As far as I know, free schools are exempt too, which makes no sense if other state schools aren't.
