Further Things That Are Wrong (Part 1)

Sound as a pound.

ā€œThe Ukranian under-butler that Lady Didsbury engaged seems to be a bit of a thickoā€ type post from the Lord of the Manor.

I donā€™t know if it is just my young ones school but the amount of emails from the school is unreal. I am hoping it is because its just the start and that they tail off after the first couple of weeks.

Ditto. When it first kicked in in March there was an avalanche. Has resumed again. Hopefully will settle down in next week once bit of routine is in place. First day back, young lad brings the wrong jacket home. :see_no_evil:

He had his initials on his tag. Both first names start with the same letter and their surname letters look very similar too.

Those nametags are great. Theyā€™ll stick to anything and dont wash off either. Cheap as chips and you can personalise them also.

Thereā€™s a real immediacy to the first few days back.

When we got our ones uniform it came with a pack of name tags already filled out with her name on it and the Mrs was busy ironing them onto the inside of her uniform. The uniform is some money making racket as well, she has her normal uniform that has a cardigan and it must have the school badge on it and then there is the tracksuit and polo shirt that also has to have the school badge on it.

Ok guys. We have a fathers issues thread for this Mumsnet type chat.

This shit wrecks my head. Only one shop is allowed sell the uniform and tracksuit. This shop then charges exorbitant prices for shit quality but parents have no choice. Itā€™s obviously corrupt as fuck with the shops paying the schools a retainer and parents picking up the tab.

Ah dont be bothering with those iron on yokes.

Iā€™m sure the money is ploughed back into making your childs education a much more pleasant and holistic experience.

Donā€™t be mean

Possibly, itā€™s actually the shop owner and his fumbling in the greasy till that pisses me off most. A hungry cunt with the manners of your average pig. I know heā€™s riding me and he knows I know. But he doesnā€™t even have the manners to be polite about it.

Heā€™s a very nice chap normally. You must be rubbing him up the wrong way.

Nah, heā€™s a fulltime cunt.

how retail people interact with you is a reflection of yourself.

I think Iā€™ve just been called a cunt. Harsh but possibly true
