HedTwigg - "children that" is not an ungrammatical construction. "Its" however, in your OP should be "it's" because it's short for "it is". That is a matter of punctuation, not grammar.

Pedantic, moi??

32 and I still havn't got the grammer

It wasn't me was it?

Nah, I know it wasn't really - I know it should be "children what are going to school need to know how to get there shoes on the write feet."

Well can I tag onto this that on the home page of mumsnet, yes MUMSNET there is a 'hot topic thread' with the title "Libraries - do you make the most of your one?"

WTF?

Come on MN!
