    Thats rude my dear boy, just explain to us all who you are ?

    You should learn some manners.

    On both threads you were told advice that you didn't like which can't be helped.

    Both threads should be in the running for thread of the month.

    Ask the person, if he's taking your grandchildren to school then surely you need to trust said person, heres an option why don't you take your grandchildren to school yourself. I wouldn't trust an odd job guy with driving my grandchildren to school, its not that I wouldnt trust him but more a case of if the grandchildren are in my care and my turn to take them to school then Id do it, not palm it off onto someone else.

    Meanwhile, back to the matter in hand.
    OP, if you know which court it would be in you could contact the court but they may simply refer you to their daily lists, which are posted in the court for each day's business.

    No they are not. The practice of posting the runners and riders in Magistrates' courts was abolished in about 2010. The reason given was precisely the reason the OP is arguing about - that the public were not entitled to be able to find out about pending proceedings. The court officers will not give details of listed cases for the same reason.

    There is nothing to stop him sitting in the public gallery (provided it is not a closed court such as a youth court and providing he knows the date and venue of the planned appearance). However, in a multi-courtroom building (as many are), the chances of encountering the person he wants to see are reduced.

    The long and the short of this is that unless he tells you or you are extremely lucky you will be unlikely to find details of proceedings against your employee. Furthermore, even if he is convicted, unless there are contractual reasons why he needs to inform you (such as it being written into his employment contract, or because he drives for you or is in a post that requires a DBS check) you are unlikely to find out details of his conviction.

    They a published on a daily basis, it allows people connected to the case to be in the right court.

    They are not published (as they used to be) on a notice board for the public to see. Those needing to know where a particular case will be heard (advocates, probation officers, etc.) can consult a list held in the court's reception/office. The court's receptionists can also advise visitors where a particular case they are interested in will be heard. For the OP to take advantage of this he will have to know the court where his employee is due to appear and the date his case is due to be heard.

    He can just ring and shout down the phone "Do you know who I am"? That will get the list out of them.

    Threadworm infestation, therefore-

    Mebendazole for grandparents, the main medication used to treat threadworm infections[ which op has supplied]. It can be bought over the counter from your local pharmacy or prescribed by your GP. It's available as a chewable tablet[does op retain own teeth?] or a liquid. Mebendazole works by preventing the threadworms absorbing sugar, which means they should die within a few days.

    No sugar in any op posts, so should work even sooner.
