Have they raised the school leaving age? It used to be 16.
I was still at school at the age of 18. Granted it was the sixth form of a grammar school, but I was still "at school".
As for your question, hasnt it now changed whereby now you have to be doing something between the ages of 16-18, be it on the job training or exams or whatever?
I've got a feeling one or two people on this thread may have typed in '18 year old schoolgirl' in their search engines, and somehow landed up on this thread!
What other term are you meant to use for a female who is still at the same place of learning as she was at 11? Schoolwoman? Schoolperson?
Where there's muck, there's
a) Brass
b) Tin
c) Copper
d) Zinc.
Are people seriously saying that even if they had never heard of the phrase they couldn't work it out? As in 'Where there's muck. there's money'.
Nothing to do with 'Where there's muck, there's mud..
Probably best not to apply to go on to any tv quiz shows.

I can honestly say I wouldn't have a clue. It's not obvious at all, to me the expression makes no sense.
These are the questions you are meant to skip through, without needing to use any lifelines.
Plenty of people didn't, though, which was how the show kept a rein on its prize money
As for the muck/brass expression, if you haven't heard of it you haven't heard of it, simple as that. It's the same with any piece of "general knowledge"
So therefore, any metal could be used in that expression really.
No, because "brass" * is Northern slang for "money". It's a common expression (not just to Northerners) like many proverbs, such as "a stitch in time saves nine". Tell me you've not heard of that either.
* pronounced 'mook' and 'brass' to rhyme with 'crass'

Must be an old expression then, I'm only 23, never heard of money being referred to as brass and I'm no southerner!

It originated in Yorkshire.
The answer would obviously be brass even if you'd never heard of it as it's the only one that makes any sense.

What does muck have to do with money? The phrase makes about as much sense as "where there's flowers there's baseballs!"
