To think that our dd's very expensive boarding school ought to be capable of providing adequate medical care?

[sassyTHEFIRST]

And not requiring my dh (who happens to be a surgeon, but nonetheless..) to drive through several counties in the middle of the night to assist at an operation?

Not entirely happy with the French teaching either but that's another thread...

And who was it who didn't know how to make anchovy toast? Disgraceful.

Goodness I don't remember Anthony! I don't remember Anthony! This is terrible....

We had Naughtiest Girl on tapes in the car, and it was Julian (in that) who was forever doing impressions of wheelbarrows which had been mended when actually they hadn't..... I wonder why the names are different?

Yes, indeed, Julian . In the Naughtiest Girl is a Monitor (love that word - monitor). I quite wanted to call ds Julian, but dh was having none of it.

Maybe his devotion to his mother just shows he would be a good family man [hopeful]....

Julian was indeed a hottie... loved the naughties girl books, re-read them so many times - always cried when his mother was sick and he was so pale and went into the church to think about her...
