agree slim but schools are quite strict these days - the school i work in has a no mobile phone policy - none to be seen as yet this term

agree slim may be she is a bit young to have two tone hair in primary  in school terms- think schools are trying to be more strict post covid

There's another girl who was suspended from school for the way her hair looks (in Milton Keynes):

I agree that primary school age is a little young to be messing about with hair colourants etc, but is it really bad enough to be excluding them...I would have thought that having a confident pupil willing to learn would be more important, and we all know that a major part of confidence is in the way we look.
I'm amazed at some of the things my grand-daughter (aged 14) has to contend with these days, school is so very different to when I was a teenager

I see that the BBFC has reclassified a 1927 film called "The Ring" with a 12 certificate mainly due to racist language. It's about boxing and the only reason for mentioning it is because it was directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Not being a supporter of boxing, (personally, I'd see it banned given the chance), 18 would be my choice of classification for it tbh....however, I think it wouldn't be realistic to think that most under 12's wouldn't be interested in such a film as this anyways

I think my hopes of an Indian summer are well and truly out of the window El
Overcast with a chilly wind here atm...

Keep warm folks..

I had seen that the chances of an Indian summer were low but didn't want to dash your hopes when you mentioned that Slim The weather does get warmer than it is at present but not really warm.
