That is correct.
According to the BBC website the average debt of a student leaving university is £10K.
So over to Weyland

just like His Eminence £10k sounds too little to me, £20k?

£10,000? That's got to be too low surely.
I've just graduated, so i should know
Student loan is about £4200 a year. 3x that is about £13000. Tuition fees are £1125 a year, so add that on and its about £16500. Student overdrafts are £2000, which most people get up to. Luckily i got my fees paid, but i still owe £15000 odd. I can't honestly say i know anyone who owes less than £10k!

Ah, but that's on average. You're forgetting all the rich sods who don't have to take any loans out because daddy pays it all! 
Anyway, away from geography and sociology and onwards to history. Which, being an old man, I know a lot about.
What was the Synod of Whitby convened to decide, and how did the king of that time eventually settle the dispute? It's quite a neat solution. I was there, you know.

Whether God actually existed and a game of paper scissors stone?

Come on, we're talking about a time when even atheists thought God existed (they just chose to ignore him)
Okay, some clues: It was held in 664, was called by King Oswy of Northumbria, and was between the Celtic church and the Roman one. Oswy eventually arrived at his decision by stating that, as the Celts followed St Columba and the Romans St Peter, he had to side with the Romans:
"I dare not longer", he said, "contradict the decrees of him who keeps the doors of the Kingdom of Heaven, lest he should refuse me admission".
So, there you go, this rather momentous religious decision was arrived at by the self interest of a rather secular local ruler.
So, all I need to know now is what were they discussing? It is pretty fundemental is you happen to believe that sort of thing.

This is waaay before Protestant, or even people like Martin Luther. Everyone was Catholic!
Another clue: This is the wrong time of year for me to ask this question.

When to have Christmas / Easter?
I'm really not sure, it's a bit before my time. You'd be better asking UP, that's more his era.

One of the two, whoever's quickest with the answer gets it.

Since UP hasn't risen to my hackneyed bait, I'll go for Easter
Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 2:01 pm
I'll go for Christmas then, that way the wait is less delayed when the answer is revealed!
