    maybe I will take the day off and see how they cope!
    Sounds like a good idea, although I would make it a week for real impact!

    The 50s were a great time.

    End to rationing, shops getting full again, tv in its infancy, slower pace of life..

    How I miss the mangle, the queueing outside the shops, hitting the dust off the rugs outside...

    The 50s were a great time for MEN!

    To be fair, 13 year olds are starting to grow quite quickly and I did read an article somewhere that suggested growing teenagers actually needed extra rest sometimes to counteract the tiredness that caused. As a teenager many moons ago I could occasinally sleep/rest in bed quite happily until lunchtime at weekends or school holidays as I used to stay up quite late during the week doing homework and really did get tired by the weekend. I don't think adults are the onky dones affected by tiredness but I never got room service for meals. My parents did have limits althiugh sometimes if I was very tired I would happily forego the food just for a long sleep!
