Very heavy rain and no coats
On my way home the rain came down, double speed wipers not keeping up
and visibility poor. What I found a bit concerning was the amount of school children on their way home without coats. I know they probably don't think coats are cool but the forecast was rain. macafee2 |

May be a similar problem to my grandson's school - they are NOT allowed to put their overcoats (there's an old fashioned word!) in lockers (even if they have been lucky enough to be allocated one - not enough for everyone). They HAVE to carry them around the school all day - it seems most of the pupils would rather get wet than lug a waterproof coat around with them

Don't they have ''pegs'' anymore? I remember clearly the day at school where I had a peg to hang my coat and Gym bag. It had my name written on a white sticker and below me was Kevin Low ( I wonder what happened to him?) Do they have tuck shops?

Oh for an old style cloakroom; hang the child up at the beginning of the day and retrieve them at the end...........seriously though, I see it so many times and realize that it is up to parents to advise.

I wanted to ask why are the parents not making sure their children went to school with a coat but thought better of it. I know my wife and I always checked and made them take coats, my son hated it. macafee2 |

I can remember being made to take my coat, but it was the right thing to do.

Never needed a raincoat. Cycled to school around three miles away. If it rained used just a yellow cycle cape. 5 years of staying dry.--
Sometimes damp feet though.- |
