Happens all the time on the net unless we get REALLY boring and speak (type) american standard english. But hey, who wants that?? Give M...

MM - just to clear things up, my interest in the primary schools does not stem from having sent my own kids to one - my concern is about my SOP/SES relative's kids going to one. And I think you misintepretated Bella's comment - I just took it to mean she was bowing out of the conversation (but perha...

The plan is proper legal action. Well why the secrecy? And exclusion of people? Meanwhile "Plan b" is growing in momentum - thousands of PMs are going about the board regarding cup cakes and tim tams (damn you BD for mentioning the fudge-centred ones - we now have more people than we know what to d...
