Life in United Kingdom

"Everyone should be included in the census - all people, households and overnight visitors ." Does the government go mad? How could overnight visitors have time to fill 32 pages long questionnaire? How could the MPs make such ridiculous regulations?

We went to Bingo night, organized by the my daughter's primary school, she is now on year one. I had no idea at all how to play Bingo, so I didn't buy the Bingo books which should have cost me £4. The head teacher Mrs. Smith sit opposite us to teach us how to play. The basic rule: One person call out as many numbers as needed, you have to cross out the matched number on your Bingo book, until you got a single line or all numbers which called a full house. Kids have two chances to match a single line and one full house, the adults have one chance of single line and then a full house. My Daughter almost started to cry when she proceeded to the last page, and said, "I want to win!" "You will win on this page, I am sure of that!" I said, though I have no confident at all. Then she won a skipping rope. She skipped all the way home, feeling too excited to say tired.

The surcoat was the loose garment worn over the armour to protect it from rain or hot sun and actually was the "coat-of-arms"; it was decorated on the front and back with the same device as on the shield. The correct expression for entire design is an achievement . An achievement consists of the shield, helmet, rest, wreath, mantling and motto. These are the main parts. To them can be added supporters and a compartment. In the centre is the most important part, the shield . The surface of the shield is called the field  and on it the colourful charges are placed. The shield is called the arms or coat-of-arms  and can be drawn in any shape - in an upright position or slanting, which is the position it would fall into if hung on a peg. In Heraldry it slants to dexter. The helmet denot...
