So take 3 of my DC to school and on the way back bump into a mum getting her kids in the car. She was all excited and announced to me that surely I haven’t sent my DC into school today with the heat. At which I say yes of course they have plenty of water and the teachers have said they will monitor and gear lessons around the heat etc. said I was confident in the school. At which the mum said OMG your crazy this heat is so dangerous no way are my two going into school we are off to the beach to keep cool with two other parents and kids. !!! I told her she was the crazy one exposing her kids to the heat at the beach. She took the hump and said they will go in the sea to keep cool and if I had any sense I would collect my kids and do the same. Speechless to say the least.
should I have challenge her. She was very miffed.

She's an absolute cretin. She's going to drive to a hot, packed beach and expose her kids to sunburn, sunstroke, and possibly cancer in later years, instead of sending them to school? What an idiot

Yesterday there were queues of cars trying to get to one local beach, and pictures show that once there you are sitting cheek by jowl with other people.
Wonder how many of these people will be rocking up at A & E with heat stroke

the pictures are taken from a side on angle to make it look worse than it is - if you take a bird's eye view people are more spaced out - if your comment was in relation to covid this is not a reason to be worried. We live 30 mins from the North East coast and it was fab yesterday - we took loads of water, an umbrella for shade, sun cream obvs and kids wore T shirts in the water as well. Much cooler and more comfortable than anywhere else.
