I'm experiencing higher volumes now

fc123

I am so glad the kids are big now (for Maisie I am 45, eldest 21, youngest 14).....all that stuff I didn't do in my 20's.....bringing it on. I can't wait.

The whole shool thing.....I'm so glad it's all over, my son seems to be a reasonably, well functioning adult in society now. Going to graduate next June ...during a slump...that'll be character building for him.

My youngest moved from SE London just at the right time....went from a pretty ordinary state primary to posh school (as we couldn't get her into ANY state school in Brighton at the time we moved)...then she was offered the bottom one with a 22% pass rate (I think there are security guards too for peace of mind)

Is the quality of education better? I don't think so...it does remind me of the grammar school I went to years back (which I hated).
Is it 'worth' 1k pcm (less bursary)...probably not...but I can't compare. I can't run 2 parallel lives to test out the 2 choices.

But, she's an average kid (academically) and small classes work well (12-13) plus she no longer finishes every sentence with innit and doesn't reply to Q's with wha'ever.

Personally, if I could get that for free, then I would happily spend the school fees on beauty treatments and the pursuit of youthful skin...and shoes...and ........or pay off the mortgage (I am hanging out on MSE afterall)

Thanks Chucky. How on earth does Dopester know that we didnt do anything. We did - we renovated the house and built an extension admittely for our own use and to live in a larger property - how dare we.....

hey Maisie - I was just teasing.

it's the done thing around here to blame BTLers for the housing price drops.

No, to Maisie people 'are' renters or home-owners. Renting or buying a house isn't something people do.

It defines their caste.

Something tells me she's a dyed-in-the-wool Tory who'd probably scream if she saw a nasty renter and hide in the corner in case it bit her or something.

Thank goodness for HPI - at least those nasty lower-caste people can't come and buy in my street.

And maybe if I send my children to private school, I can ensure they never, ever have to mix with any poor people either. :rolleyes:

you're sounding like Pickled Pink here

Maisie,

I would advise you to take a note of the way that certain people act on these forums. I have personally made a list in a word document of all of the obvious bears and the less obvious bulls. There are a few subtle bulls. There are lots and lots of very ferocious bears.

You are really best of not trying to explain yourself to a ferocious bear. They have a massive agenda and tend to stick to it whether or not logic should dictate otherwise.

Even the Reverend Ian Paisley is less partisan.

There are some subtle bears too......
