Schooling

The girls went back to school today. We got up at 07.30 am and I was busy making sandwiches and the such like, then we had a phone call from Danz's mate to remind her they didn't have to be in until 10am... WTF? they bloody finish school at 14.30... hardly worth going in.
Then tonight the girls told me that they arrived at 10. They weren't allowed in the building until 10.30.. they had to stand outside in the cold. Then they had to wait in the dinner hall until 12.00 for assembly, then they had dinner.. two lesson and home.
Educational lesson?
It's not worth the bothering of turning up on the first day back.
My feelings? A days education wasted and two bored and pee'd off girls.

That is extremely wierd but doesn't it just sum up this country these days? Not simply schools that are confused either, everything here is just baffling isn't it?

Did you know in Nova Scotia you can buy 5 acres of land and build a 4 bedroom log cabin overlooking the beach and still get change from £50,000?
Cost of living 40% of what it is here. Council tax is less a year than we pay a month. The people still believe in community. Real snow in winter but warmer summers than we get here......

What on earth are we doing here still?

Hey little Oz! Excellent rant. So young and already you are well on the way to being a miserable old bastard. That took me decades of hard practice.
