Yes, I noticed the temps were going to be in the teens for most of the week ...

Dry morning here, some rain forecast during the afternoon with the temperature going down. Wednesday to Friday cooler than recently, a bit warmer for Saturday.
I hope everyone has a good day

How is it that a child can be excluded from school because of the colour of their hair!

Not surprisingly he was a noted Shakespearean stage actor in the States

Very odd decision
By the way, although your link is on my local news site, the school is in Blackpool.

Blackpool is a fair bit away from you

I think it may be an article posted elsewhere, one of the national newspapers

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
night EL slim
Good morning everyone
Chillier than recently here outside, some sunshine at present, may get some showers this afternoon.
I hope everyone has a good day
There's another girl who was suspended from school for the way her hair looks (in Milton Keynes):

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.

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

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

It's not a film I would watch anyway

tbh agree slim - its not an exclusion issue - and same here school is so different now to when I was in school as well

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.
