So I go for the next best option... better out than in, then have a cup of tea!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975091527791342814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194975192421760189.post-31850603716023106862010-11-20T19:04:03.897+00:002010-11-20T19:04:03.897+00:00I started to compose a reasonable, well-argued com...I started to compose a reasonable, well-argued comment to indicate how much I agreed with you, but the more I wrote the angrier I got so for the sake of my (rising) blood pressure I'll just have to say YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. <br />I have to go and lie down in a dark room now.autismandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639886249223327022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194975192421760189.post-67138172296196637232010-11-19T22:32:20.806+00:002010-11-19T22:32:20.806+00:00Fiona, totally agree with you, questionable motive...Fiona, totally agree with you, questionable motives. I suppose one should be charitable enough to hope they don't realise how patronising, or even offensive, they are being. Ah well, such is life and thank you for reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975091527791342814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194975192421760189.post-28858481565817717592010-11-19T22:14:17.517+00:002010-11-19T22:14:17.517+00:00Irene I agree with your views on charity.

I rage at the very nice polite ladies and gents who turn up at J's school from the local wooden spoon gang. Big floppy hats, floaty dresses, bow ties and tweed jackets. Smiling and feeling wonderful about themselves whilst using terms such as 'them' 'poor things' etc., I get it that J's head teacher needs the cash but the corollory of this is treating our kids as 'other' 'lesser' and lies in direct opposition to the aims of the school. Particularly when such charity is then splashed across the local rag with the same smiling happy people being seen to be so wonderful. Sorry vent over. Thank you for reading!
