When I was young you would just send a letter to the school saying we're taking some time off, see you later. I heard that now there's a fine for the children taking the time off.
It stems from rules of imposing a fine to the parents if their child is playing truant, seems like a bad rule to me.
Along the same topic of conversation the same person told me that going on flights abroad cost more during the school holidays.
I thought of going a broad - but I don't have the legs for pantyhose......
I don't know if Americans use the phrase abroad or not, I know you use the word vacation and not holiday, and you call Christmas and days like that the Holidays.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
