Sent to Coventry

123RF An idiom To send someone to Coventry is an idiom used in England meaning to deliberately ostracise someone. Typically, this is done by not talking to them, avoiding their company, and acting as if they no longer exist. Victims are treated as though they are completely invisible and inaudible. Coventry is a cathedral city historically in Warwickshire. Rebellion and Civil Wars in England The origins of this phrase are unknown, although it is quite probable that events in Coventry in the English Civil War in the 1640s play a part. One hypothesis as to its origin is based upon The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England, by Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon. In this work, Clarendon recounts how Royalist troops that were captured in Birmingham were taken as prison...

Michail Antonio

alamy Leon Bailey and the dream Jamaica XI West Ham ace Michail Antonio can join for World Cup 2022 West Ham striker Michail Antonio could be linking up with former Hammer Ravel Morrison for The Reggae Boyz The Jamaican FA West Ham striker Michail Antonio has been approached by the Jamaican FA to represent the country of his parents’ birth in a bid to qualify the Caribbean Island for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The “Reggae Boyz” have not graced the world stage since their unlikely appearance at France 1998. The Jamaicans failed to win any of their first four games in the final qualifying stage for the 1998 World Cup but an impressive end to qualifying saw them seal their place at their first World Cup finals.

Driving backlog

123RF Driving test system backlog is causing months of delays for learner drivers in the UK Massive delays for learner drivers The cancellation of some 450,00 driving tests as a result of the Covid pandemic has led to massive delays for learner drivers attempting to get on the road – even stretching into 2022. A system backlog is causing long delays for those trying to book a theory test as well as those waiting to sit the practical test. Compounding the issue further is a shortage of driving instructors, meaning that even if learners pass their theory tests, they may struggle or face further long delays in getting lessons. Theory-testing centres had to close With three lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, theory-testing centres had to close, though when the most severe restri...

Dementia Attendance Allowance

How to claim PIP or Attendance Allowance for dementia and get up to £608 every month People over State Pension age could be eligible for Attendance Allowance and those under 66 may qualify for PIP. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit many people have heard of or read about but may not be sure who it can help or how to apply, especially if it’s for a loved one or family member with a cognitive condition. Misunderstanding The biggest misunderstanding around PIP is that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will only award the benefit to people with outwardly visible physical, long-term health conditions or disabilities.
