To want unauthorised children's leave spaces to go to the next place in the queue?

[angelos02]

If you value your children's education so lowly, I assume you don't mind their space being taken?

Wonder if there'll be any doughnuts on the flight......

If there are Rugby, I would hope there is an absence of custard. And they'll cost £150 each.

DH insists on making rum sauce for Christmas pudding. It looks like semen.

I used to be served tinned cream with my Christmas Pudding, many moons ago!

Angelos you're rude and don't actually have a clue about the school system so unless you want to discuss Christmas Pudding and Doughnuts, do bugger off, there's a dear.

thank you so much. Just been eating breakfast...

You should be fine, provided your breakfast doesn't look like semen too.

Annie- are your parents German? In German Xmas markets you get a massive sweet dumpling covered in cherry sauce or sweet white sauce (or both), that might be your white sauce adapted to Xmas pud. Def not custard.

My paternal grandfather was German, so maybe.

My grandmother's recipe for brandy sauce started like this;

Take a knob of butter - not too much...

I'm sure you all know exactly how much butter to use, now.

(She never weighed the ingredients for scones, either, and they were always perfect.)

When I was a child, we used to eat jammy doughnuts, covered in sugar. The challenge was you weren't allowed to lick your lips. Happy memories.

coffee Churros at a Christmas market? Surely you really mean doughnut balls with hot chocolate sauce and icing sugar? Best eaten after a mouth burningly hot tray of bratkartoffeln...

I might get a mini Christmas Pud from Aldi when I go later.

What are churros?

Am I missing something really tasty here?

Thanks for the picture, Maryz. don't think I've ever seen churros before. Obviously I need to get out more

t bothers me because I hoped I would have more peace on the plane by booking non term time holiday flights. Obviously my destination holiday is non children but I hoped the new legislation would mean kid-free flights. Babies on planes are a chav territory altogether.

well, unless I am mistaken, you don't control what other passengers are aboard the plane.

But if children both you so much, charter a private plane. Earplugs are a cheaper option.

Wow you are really unpleasant.

My mum used to spend hours every day chastising my brother for using "would of" instead of " would have" many moons ago and he's never even heard of MN.

But he loves custard on Xmas pud. So that's got me wondering about the relationship between slovenly spoken grammer and puddings......

Dear little cute Prince George has been on a plane. Does that make him a chav?

Okkkkk then.

Odd thread.

thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread. Utterly bonkers and really amusing. :)

Babies on planes are a chav territory altogether.

Are only chavs allowed to breed then? Or is it just travel that makes them chavtastic?

Is it only the UK that has all this angst about term-time holidays? There are a lot of non-UK-based people on MN - what happens in your countries? Do kids have to be in school in term-time?

Another yes some of us have talked about that, amongst all the cake and dough/donuts....

I think people have said that in Australia its no problem to take kids out of school whenever, and maybe the USA too. I live in Germany and there is no angst about it for the opposite reason - it is just not something anyone I have met ever even considers doing (I've had children in the school system here for 4 and a bit years and only really know local German parents), I suspect because it has been illegal to take children out of school except in exceptional circumstances (which means things like illness and bereavement not holidays) for a very long time (home schooling is also illegal - school is compulsory). You can take children out of Kindergarten (3-6 year olds) for no reason at all though, because that isn't compulsory, though most kids go.

The Germans I know would be no more likely to book a term time holiday than to eat Krapfen in July or Stollen in April, or visit a Christmas market in October (as an English friend of mine recently expected to be able to do whilst visiting :o - noooo, not til the first Advent weekend... :o ) or put custard on a doughnut....

Iliked... - I am intrigued at the thought of MNers meeting in RL and sitting around someone's PC having a communal read of the thread! Did you serve coffee with the doughnuts?
