All my kid are way beyond school age now and none of them were well behaved enough to become a school captain.Quote:

Amen to that. The next school doesn't believe in school captains.Quote:

I suppose I can go and bang on her door and demand payment but I wouldn't feel right.
Oh well - the cost of being a do gooder.

That's like the time a guy ran out of petrol outside my house.
I gave him my spare fuel can full which he promised to refill and return it.
Last I ever saw of him.....[bigsad]
Appreciated your original thread Vlad Tepes, but it appears some others haven't read it properly[bighmmm]
I tore a colleague a new fundamental this morning - hopefully he will experience the joy of release from his constipated mindset.
In what way? Vlad offered to help, the lady didn't want it and the stuff went back on the shelves - the second bit is not all that important, the important bit was that the offer was made in the first place not that the offer of help could not be fulfilled.Quote:
