Random Irritations

Due to where we are there are only 2 trucks, the rest are tracked vehicles that don’t have flat bed capability. Both trucks are currently unserviceable! Welcome to the UK military equipment

To be fair the weight isn’t the issue, it’s more trying to carry it without breaking an ankle on the ice

I would like to comeback and play golf at Lofoten links though if I can in the summer.

In that case imagine your on dancing on ice with Sydney Sweeney as your partner.
I bet you wouldn’t fall over then?
In Love maybe?

My kid school yet again! So despite the previous irritation of parents paying so much for trip to New York without good notice. They’ve decided next year there will be another trip but giving ample time to pay for it.

They’ve decided next trip will be to Peru! Cost per child is £3.5k, now don’t get me wrong the proposed itinerary looks superb but it’s ridiculous to think parents can afford that when there is so many other expenses to be paid out for. It’s a state school and they’ve decide that’ll do a teams meeting in a weeks time to go through it all but deposit of £500 per child must be paid immediately after the call!!

I was a little incensed by your first example of insensitive pressure on both parents and children, but this follow up is an even more shameful example.
Are these "trips" expected to supercede, or be in addition to, family holidays?
How many children will they accommodate, how many teaching staff will supervise them and are the teaching staff fully funding themselves?

Well at least there would be some air bags to stop my fall

Hotels that don’t supply toilet brushes in your room. Ridiculous.

Absolutely!
And when they do the toothpaste tubes are so inadequate!

Oh the school has no care if this supersedes or is in addition to family holidays. Let’s be realistic if we did it then It would have to be in addition or we would have to decide not to have a family holiday to accommodate the schools desire to go on ridiculously priced trips. So everyone else in the family miss out on a fun time together.

No. of teaching staff hasn’t yet been set as depends on the final number actually going and I believe the teachers place is funded from the money parents have paid towards it. It actually really winds me up, I get the experience would be amazing but family comes first and so many people
Can’t afford to do this so it’s just insensitive from the schools creating pressure of families.
