Race to reunite Glasgow teen with lost passport ahead of first holiday with friends
Rebecca Godden, who turned 18 two days ago, is due to fly away on her first ever trip with friends at 6am on Sunday.

"I lost my bag at Firewater on Thursday night and the bouncer gave the bag back to me and my passport was still inside. But then we went across to Bistro and somehow between there and Firewater I lost it. I think it fell out on Sauchiehall Street."

Despite losing her passport twice in one night, Rebecca is hoping she can be reunited with it before her 6am flight on Sunday (July 28).

No idea whether she made it or not but definitely Zante material.

Tax incentive for building upgrades

Therefore, besides the “Exoikonomisi Kat’ Oikon” subsidy program, anyone wishing to upgrade their property will be able to conduct the necessary work and then submit the necessary documents (invoices, social security contribution and value-added tax payment proof etc) to claim 40 percent (or even 50 percent in some cases) back in the form of credit in their bank account from the General Secretariat for Information Systems for covering future tax obligations.

Tories accused of ruining London Olympic legacy as just 1 in 100 sixth-formers from poor backgrounds doing sport in school
Exclusive: Labour blames Tory 'regressive policies' for fact that just 1.1 per cent of students from poorer backgrounds take A Level PE

The government has been accused of squandering the legacy of the 2012 London Olympics after new figures revealed that only a tiny fraction of 16-18-year-olds from poorer backgrounds are doing sport in schools.

Boris Johnson, the new prime minister, made the perceived success of the London games, which he oversaw as mayor of the capital, a key theme of his campaign to be Tory leader.

The games were supposed to have a lasting legacy by boosting the number of children doing sport in schools. However, the number of students taking PE A Level has dropped significantly since then, from  14,392 students in 2011/12 to 9,802 in 2017/18.

Anyone heard of A Level PE?  :dunno:
