Sons new school uniform

swingaloo

Im just confused by the 'my son isnt going to be thrilled' bit.

Why does that matter, if its the uniform then its tough if he is thrilled or not.

I can understand you not being thrilled about having to fork out money again but as your son isnt paying why should he be bothered.

The old uniform is shirt tie and blazer combination and the new uniform is school jumper and school polo shirt combination

He hates wearing a tie and blazer so he's happy the school is changing the uniform

I am no grammar police. My use of punctuation and spelling is not great but it is amazing how quickly the sentence - I'm not sure my son is thrilled changes when a full stop is used. I'm not sure. My son is thrilled.

Thank you for this - I got the wrong end of the stick completely and couldn't understand why her son preferred wearing a tie.

I thought it was your niece that wore the tie and blazer and 'strict school shoes' and your son was already in the cheapo one?

No I haven't got a nice so that post wasn't from me

Sorry to jump on the grammar police bandwagon. But this is not a texting forum but one with full sentences and punctuation to make it easier to understand. I'm not sure. My son is thrilled. That was a good example.

Also "No I haven't got a nice so that post wasn't from me" should read:

No, I haven't got a niece, so that post wasn't from me.

Sorry to be so pedantic. But that first post is missing a few commas, full stops and has spelling mistakes that make it hard to read.

Sorry, this probably belongs into the What is irritating you 2 thread!

Awww.

It's the dreadful spelling and poor grammar that gives her away every two weeks
