To wish that parents wouldn't use an umbrella in the playground when its raining?

[MaureenMLove]

Th waiting area in our school is small enough, without having to play dodge the umbrella. You can't see the children coming out over the tops and often get a trickle of rain water down your collar from someone standing next to you! Today, I have an injury! Some soppy moo, who had already hacked someone off, prodded me in the head with one of the spokes and drew blood, fgs!

Its not a bloody fashion parade, put a bloody hat or or wear a hood!

Rant over!

Huwedwards - If you look like Noddy Holder a balaclava might be more effective than an umbrella.

The other day I sneaked under a nice, tall man's brolly when it was pelting. I was glad he had a brolly

Aw Mo, hope you gave them your scary woman smile.

yabu

[Blondehelen]

oh no, I agree with you too YANBU. It is waaayy too small an area.

[MaureenMLove]

Thanks Helen, it was about 2 minutes after you left! There is so not enough room in our waiting area! It was a short, rather stout lady, shall we say. Dark hair, kids in lower juniors I think. You'll recognise her if you see her - she's got a black eye!

[MaureenMLove]

Thats it Gizmo! And if I have it in those army colours, I could be incognito and no-one would see me! I could creap up on people, like a commando and slash their brollies! Actually, dh has a fishing hat very similar and a mossy net to go ver the top of it - it might work I suppose.

Mo stop it ! I have snorted my coffee down my nose and it hurts !

[MaureenMLove]

Don't you just hate it when things get up your nose, like say, umbrellas and stuff....

I think they should bring back those attractive clear plastic macs we wore to school in the 80's. Mine was blue - think Maureen's was white, was it Mo? Durex coats we called them. Quite see through, such a fetching look. Nice.

Yeah ban brollies in the playground I say, shoot on sight.

[MaureenMLove]

No mine was blue too! That spoilt friend of ours had a clear one! I famously squished a creme egg in the pocket of mine - not a pretty sight!

Anyway, sore head! The bloody woman poked me with her brolly! If they must use them, the very least they can do it make sure all the spokes have protective covers on them! It was bloody sharp!
