I'm clueless about some stuff. Where I come from school started at 9 am. Is it not the same here??
I was at a shop this morning, late for work but on the way in had to stop for milk for the office. There was this dreadful harridan shrieking around the shop for "annie" who apparently kept wandering off. I had to wait for this woman to shout a few times, not looking about the child and then ask her if I could get by to get to the milk. (a concept she completely ignored). A minute late I was in the queue with several others when she comes up, still shouting for Annie who's running about the place, and dumps all her shopping at a closed till and then goes off again. Eventually I'm served and just as I'm turning away and the next chap is being served she arrives at the closed till, blocks my way and starts shouting at the guy serving as to why has he served others, why isn't her shopping totted up, why is he ignoring her and being rude???!
Of course being me I can't resist and turn and say "well you weren't here, you're shopping is at a closed till and there's others already in the queue so why not wait your turn?" She continued to shriek about how poor annie was now going to be late for school and how she was in such a hurry (having finally found her red bull?)
So given that this was already 9:15 and that the school was not next door I had to wonder when poor Annie was expected anywhere to get her education (which obviously she needs as she wasn't about to get too many valuable lessons from her parent).
