    if you're going to the Leeds meet I'll bring you some apples Bob.
    There's not enough room in our freezer for the crop from 12 apple trees :p

    Last year I gave away carrier bags full to guys from my Drama group, and not one of them brought me a slice of apple cake :p:p:p
    And I made apple brandy for Christmas presents :beer: delish.

    Oh Bob, that *is* powder keg time - I've witnessed friends' dramas with offspring around this sort of thing. Seems to need a lot of slammed doors before the positives can emerge.... it really does seem heartbreaking when its a question of the grade,doesn't it. I can see why they do it, but still, awful for the teenagers concerned. I hope things get onto an even keel soon so that all the options can be explored.

    Cheers KC, i don't understand this system...a pass should be enough..but no has to be a merit or a distinction!

    But i suppose like everything there has to be a cut off point! all valuable lessons for life, as we look for ways to overcome...it isn't what we do but how we react to things which help us succeed in life..look at the apprentice as an example!
