Not Sure What To Make Of This One


Recommended Posts

Why didn't the bloke leave it when he won the first court case, its going to cost more than £ 120 taking it further ... maybe he would be better lobbying for holiday places to drop there prices a bit when the kids are off school .

 

I was reading if your in England & you fancy a holiday in Scotland when go when the Scottish kids are back at school as its cheaper apparently as they have a sightly different holiday timetable thats what I would do ... bugger Disney land :laugh:

I don't know why he didn't just pay the fine and shut up about it. He's kicked off so much now he's made it difficult for others now

Sorry if my first post came across as a bit "strident", but I hate seeing kids off school at the drop of a hat. Its becoming part of a recent trend that's undermining and devaluing learning and knowledge......I'll put the soap box away, now !

With all due respect.....it did sound a bit knobbish :laugh: ....i bet you was a school prefect ?

 

I hardly think possibly travelling to a foreign country taking in all the valuable experiences and cultural learning that could bring,not to mention the quality family time during todays busy lifestyles/work commitments etc counts as " off school at the drop of a hat "

 

Maybe it would make more sense getting after these parents whos kids are off bunking school for weeks at a time than punishing folk for having a family holiday.

I went to a bog standard, just about average,inner-city comp, mate !

We had the odd week in Skeg-Vegas, every other year or so, during school holidays - we didn't feel 'entitled' to an expensive holiday, and we couldn't afford one anyway. I certainly never had the valuable experiences and cultural learning of Disneyland or Benidorm !

 

Me neither mate a weekend walking a mile out in the mud to get our feet wet in the Thames Estuary known as Canvey Island was the best we could hope for.

At the risk of sounding like my old dad - "they don't know they're born these days !"
