Not much fun, but tell us what the lunch was like!

Littlepeahead · 26-04-16, 05:10 PM

Lasagne and pavlova. Served to me by 16 year old servants, I mean schoolboys. They were all very polite and tried to get me to have second helpings which I declined as I was struggling to breath after eating all that lot.

It's bloody snowing!

disadvantage to working from home.

I have had to turn out the electric heater out here in the shed. I bet the meter is spinning.

I need to negotiate compensation for my extra costs and loss of amenities.

Lazy **** parent who park out front of the school, despite the no parking restrictions at school times. Todays best was one parking on the zig zag line on the zebra crossing outside the school & he didn't even get out of the car to make sure his daughter was safe getting into the outside passenger side door of his car.

Sod speed camera's just a mobile number plate reader would generate £'s each day getting these Darwin award winners to walk to the school, whilst dragging their knuckles on the ground.

Being added to a private Facebook group run by the people you didn't like at school. It's now a group sharing pictures of all the people you didn't like at a time you didn't like them doing things you thought made them knobs.

Best comment so far, "what did I think I looked like in white trousers?" Have you just realised you looked like a knob?

Take pictures and pass them to the local cop shop, your MP, the school head and the local paper.

Ask the school if they have spoken to the local PCSO. Often schools can get them or a copper to visit at one or both ends of the day which scares a lot of parents.

The cops turn up from time to time, but not nearly often enough, and quite often too late.

Their presence doesnt really scare them, when a proper bobby turned up and issued tickets thats a different ball game. But ive only seen it once.

After today's debacle i may call my crime commissioner or 101. But bobbies are so short in supply, its not going to be a priority until a kid gets hurt outside a school
