Comment Re:Engrish? (Score 1) 66

Punt was a kingdom which existed during the Egyptian period a few thousand years ago. Apparently it was a large trading partner of Egypt and fairly wealthy. While it is mentioned in texts, there is no description or directions of how to get to it. Why? Because apparently everyone at the time knew where Punt was so there was no need to describe its location.

Thanks!

owner of the building?? and if the state owns it? well need to X2 taxes to pay for an RUSH fix

The majority of UK schools aren't "state-owned" any more - not since control was taken from local councils (along with more than a £billion in building title deeds) and handed to so-called "Academy" companies a few years back.

No prizes for guessing what gets priority therefore - making a bigger profit, or performing building maintenance to make sure that pupils are protected from (in this case) lead in the pipes...
