Just a bit of fun, don't take me too seriously, but... forms!
What is it with irrelevent, downright Big Brother-ish questions on forms these days? I've just had yet another form with yet more questions, from my DCs school. Not the sensible, "tell us your contact number so we can contact you if your child breaks a leg" type of question, but the "how do you get your child to school" and "do you consider yourself to have a disability?" type questions.
Why the hell is this their business?!
Likewise my religion, as asked on my DDs non-denominational school's recent form. Whats that all about?
And as for what my ethnic origin is... don't get me started! I'm English, not that it's their business, but how often do you see that as an option?
Come to think of it, my ethnic origin, going by my ancestry, is German, Dutch, English, French, with a smidgeon of Irish in there too. Maybe I should tick all the boxes and make their computer blow up in a paddy!
