hoho glasjam i TOO phoned up the number on the back of the leaflet because it pissed me off so much and had an interesting conversation with someone from, oh i don't know... the council, cordia, who can say, in retrospect she didn't tell me, she just said that she was the person i needed to speak to.
now, it's safe to say that this woman and i didn't get on, i found her intensely rude actually and drew the conversation to a close when she started openly laughing at what i was saying...
however, she (helen, heather, something beginning with H) has said that she will, in response to my request as a council tax payer (of her bloody wages) go and find out whether when schools opt out of the pink and brown milk, there is a terrific drop off in uptake.
clearly the cooncil thinks it's important that they drink milk, which is fine, but i don't see why all kids are being treated like milk-avoiders. ah but they're not, quoth she, they are offered the choice of plain milk as well. why not just offer that alone and see what happens? because that would penalise those children who won't take unsweetened milk...
to which i replied 'i hardly think not having strawberry milk is a human rights issue' and that was when she and i became Not Friends.
can give you chap and verse later on phone should you wish, glas. or you can draw it out of me all evening on here while i should be working...
