As the UK, where do we stand in the us election?

I live in Tunbridge wells Kent. Here, we still use the grammar school system, where entry exams aren't necessary. I did the eleven plus, which is how we decide our schools (grammar,superselective require a pass or more) and I was wondering how much of the country uses this system?

ok, this might be a crazy question. but haven't there been other assassination attempts on members of the monarchy (and successful ones) in england throughout history? why is he the most remembered, has a holiday in his name and is talked about over 400 years later? it looks sort of hilariously maniacal (and very endearingly british) from the prospective of a canadian who knows of this holiday but has never celebrated it

Hi everyone , i am in my twenties & Hungarian currently living in Austria and i am thinking about moving to the uk, i am wondering, how is the UK financially, i know it was better previously but that could be generally said about every country in the eurozone, last couple of years were a bit rough to say the least. What kind of money could someone with a masters in financial law expect, what are some general informations that one should know about the country itself?

Thank you for the answers in advance:)

I recently moved to a house after renting for many years. Now I’m no longer behind a community gate, the junk mail is outrageous and makes me sick that I’m receiving the same exact junk mail every week and binning it immediately. Everything important is online anyway. My question is to those with no junk mail signs, does it help to reduce the dominoes flyers? I’m not super hopeful

E.g the Old Cannibal, The Broken Man, The Drowned Cow etc etc

I had an English teacher, who was around his 80s, mention that, in his childhood, kids in England were given IQ tests to determine school (probably elementary school) placement. According to him, if a child scored poorly, they'd be sent to a "r school" (They deleted my post before because I said that word) which was the term he used. He said that he went to one of these schools because his mother worked there as a teacher. I've tried searching for information about this practice but haven't found much, so I'd like to know if it's historically accurate that IQ tests were used in this way in England.

Edit: I misspelled the word past in the title

Not criticizing them as I actually think they add a nice bit of British flair to events, but as someone who lives in North America, I'm curious to know the origin of the tradition of women wearing hats to any event attended by a royal. Where I live, the expectation that women wear hats to church or other formal events ended roughly half a century ago.

In addition, I'm curious to know if the practice is unique to the Royal Family. If I were to attend a high society event in England with no royals present, a traditional commoner wedding/funeral held in a place of worship, or funeral home, (where formal attire such as suits and dresses are worn) or a baptism/Christmas Eve/Easter service, would the women present be wearing hats, even without any royalty around? (I know that nowadays, many weddings and even funerals are held in places like beaches or private homes, where more casual attire might be worn, but my question pertains to more traditional events where people still wear suits and dresses.)

Again, not criticizing the hats, just curious! Thanks!

I’ll start - NORTH LONDON
