Head accused me of running over a child foot and swearing at him!

We recently moved from a naice area - to a rural hick town (it's a dump) think quiet little redneck mountain town. I've three kids and my eldest is 13. 13 years of school runs ... I've a pgce. I've made successful decisions and don't work as I'm comfortable. I send my children to state schools as I attended a top 20 state school. But the standards today are woeful. Think nits and threadworm. Yesterday morning the head said I'd run over a child called Harry and sworn at him. (Eh? Come again love). Shes a hopeless head. Doesn't speak to or interact with children. Would you make a complaint?

Never been treated like dirt before. =( would u send children to a decent prep school?

I'm not sure what's happening here, but I'm sure it must be the fault of Brexit whatever it is.

Nits and threadworms
Ooh itch top and bottom.

It’s the wrong time of year for glue, surely? That runs out in November doesn’t it?

Amazon wishlist, the parents who have made successful decisions buy it for you. I manage our school list- I have put gin on- 14 bottles so far.

That said- we are near Cumbria so I had better add Ovex, nit combs and tea tree oil.

Maybe Harry is the secretary. He could be short and because the OP is mad jealous he's sleeping with her husband she called him a child.

The headmistress is Harry's sister and she's called Kirby Stephen. There's rumours she's really Harry's mother. Thing like that young gals having babies and thier mums saying the babies theirs so Kirby Stephen can get her PSCE happens round them hick towns (inbetween bum and head scratching).

Almost certainly to blame for the german toilet poo shelf vanishing in Loughborough.

Hang on redneck hick towns dont usually suffer from nits and threadworms I'm sure they are usually plagued by a dysfunctional family of inbreds who tend to mutilate and kill anyone who loses their way.

RedForShort · 24/01/2019 23:22

Just read that Michael Farady's uncle lived in Kirkby Stephen. That's Kirkby Stephen the town not the abovementioned sister/mother headmistress. It'd be too crowded with the nits and threadworms.

FlatHarrysMum · 24/01/2019 23:23

His secretary isn't all that.

FevertreeLight · 24/01/2019 23:24

FlatHarrysMum

Welcome. Were you an eye witness?

gamerchick · 24/01/2019 23:26

Nits and Threadworm. Wasn't that an early 90s indie band?

Grin that properly made me laugh, cheers man.

FevertreeLight · 24/01/2019 23:29

Michael Farady's

I loved him in Riverdance. An itchy arse would explain a lot of the moves.

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 24/01/2019 23:30

Are you Harry’s dad’s secretary OP? Did you go a bit hand that rocks the cradle? Confused

Pyotrkrolik · 24/01/2019 23:30

Is there some hidden code I’m not aware of here. I have no idea what this thread is about. I do love South Park though.

My favourite thing about these friends is when everyone else starts going mental too. contented sigh and settles in with a biscuit

BusySnipingOnCallOfDuty · 24/01/2019 23:37

"So. In summary: hick mountain town where all the children have nits and worms.... ran over a small boy called Harry and hurled abuse at the head. Who in the stramash which followed neglected to notice that parent didn’t actually drop off her child"

Actually, that could easily have been written about the place I moved from last summer 😬

FevertreeLight · 24/01/2019 23:38

Shssh. Dont spoil it. Look at every 4th letter.

BusySnipingOnCallOfDuty · 24/01/2019 23:39

@FevertreeLight Almost certainly to blame for the german toilet poo shelf vanishing in Loughborough. ??? Why do I miss all the good stuff

Did you wash the bedding?

FacingUp · 24/01/2019 23:39

Okey dokey

You never see a german toilet poo shelf when you are looking for one. Carpe (or Crape) Diem.

DustyMcDustbuster · 24/01/2019 23:42

Is someone there with you OP? Are you trying to elicit help?

Spermysextowel · 24/01/2019 23:44

Now I have Duelling Banjos going round in a loop in my head, though happily it’s making me do the ironing faster.

RedForShort · 24/01/2019 23:44

Wonder if the OP's husband is that man on tv who accidentally ended up a pimp abroad, and is sad he's in now prison. It would explain the more from niace to hick.

RedForShort · 24/01/2019 23:45

Explain the move, not more.
