I want to complain about this content:
@ Phil Young - I recall going to school during the bad winter of 1963 and our school wasn`t shut on one single day. Unfortunately! We used to make horrendously long slides in the playground and it wasn`t until they got too big did the caretaker come out with his bucket of salt Mind you all we did was to start beavering away creating another one. I do understand where you are coming from but why is it only schools that shut at the merest hint of a bit of snow nowadays. Other people make the effort to get into work by starting out earlier etc. It just seems to me that schools capitulate far too easy nowadays. I know teachers are a bit fed up at the moment with changes to their pensions etc but at the end of the day they are employed to do a job and I think many could try a bit harder and not use the excuse of a bit of cold weather not to go into work.
