The people on the gate at the Oval who let some c**t in with a fucking trumpet!

The useless England cricket team at the Oval who didn't possess the gumption to at least bat the day out for a draw.

Same goes for 'The England Band' at the football.

Forgot about them, not heard them for ages thankfully. Didn't they get banned?

At least one of the kids instantly getting a cold as soon as they set foot back in school. Happens every time. Obviously more of an arse ache nowadays.

Might want to keep that symptom quiet.

Stupid people on the roads now the schools are back.

Some gimp doing 30 down the a444 today, totally oblivious.

I thought they were banned during the euros but I swear I heard them during the Andorra game. Unless it was some Vietnam style flashback.

I'm not sure now. I really hope I'm right.

They need to bring back those superloos like you get abroad with the airlock doors.

Lazy parents driving their kids to school. Not many people live further than a walkable distance to a primary school.

Also known as “parents who need to get to the office 10 miles away as soon as possible because apparently that’s a thing again”

I get that if people don't have work so aren't in any rush.

Some will need to get to work though.

Dropping them off at school means you're driving in the midst of the school run, it'll take no longer to walk home and drive to work from where you live.

If you live a 10 minute walk from school the difference will be negligible

Nah, charlie don't play trumpet.

It depends on the direction of work and the school and what time it is I guess.

I get it if people live 10 minutes away and don't have work, just walk.

I live 0.3 miles from the school. There's at least two sets of kids by me who get driven to school by their parents who I'm guessing aren't on their way to work unless they go to work in their pyjamas.

Seem to know a lot about where everyone lives m8

Plus, not that I live near my sons school anymore. A 10 minute walk with a 4 year old isn’t 10 minutes. It’s about 30 minutes of carnage.

I qualified my post sufficiently to recognise different circumstances, I know what it's like pal I walk a 3 year old and 18 month year old to nursery every day.

The fact is that if you've got a child capable of walking to school within 10 minutes (which most primary and all secondary school kids are), they / you should walk them to school and not drive.

 

[hill83]

I had the issue with it taking no longer to walk home then drive to work than driving straight to work from dropping them off. That’s not sufficiently qualified your posts as it’s bollocks.

Unless of course you need to be somewhere?

If you have to walk away from the direction of work to go home, get your car and then come back past the school direction to get to work then it takes longer. Every minute counts in the morning before school!

What about if it's pissing down with rain? Should I get soaked then have to get changed before going to work?

If people don't have to go to work or have the day off then I agree, get some fresh air.

 

[hill83]

But yeah, not working then walk, unless it’s raining because fuck that. Used to have some woods to walk through with my lad and we loved it.

 

[hill83]

No. Must walk.

Why? I've never known an employer not recognise that people with responsibilities to drop kids off should not be expected into work at 9am on the dot

Then I get in late and need to make the time up after so therefore I am later picking up. Also when people are relying on me to be on time so they can go home I prefer to be here on time.

I wish it was as simple as no care in the world and just turn up whenever.

 

[hill83]

I must be wasting loads of money on before and after school clubs for my lad then if I can just rock up late.

 

[ajsccfc]

I've heard the England band fairly recently, thought it was during the Euros but definitely in the last few months and I was awake so it wasn't the recurring nightmare either

Not just people that are relying on you to go home. Even when that's not the case it gets pretty annoying for those of us without kids.

There's multiple people at my place who take an hour, or more, in the morning for the school run and the same in the afternoon who never make up the time. That pretty quickly adds up and doesn't go unnoticed by those doing the work while they aren't there.

Woman wins £180,000 after boss wouldn't let her leave early to pick up daughter

A tribunal has ruled against estate agents Manors after they refused to let an employee go part-time so she could pick up her daughter.

10 minutes

That then makes the person who I take over from 10 minutes late.

If I leave 10 minutes later it means the traffic is a bit worse as well.

I will just get to work on time instead.
