Why don’t people who are near and local just walk them to school…. Would save on all these after school sport kids do. Really going to have obese kids who do little exercise. 
 

Clearly, those further away have no choice but to be bumper to bumper delivering and collecting their little darlings.

Totally agree, sit in their cars with with engine  running either with radio on or glued to phone.Irresponsible, inconsiderate

The business of the crossing attendant on the Underhill: Dunstan's junction would suggest that they do.

And your comment 'little darlings' suggests that you are inimical towards parental care and love - and possibly children themselves.

The younger ones at least, if delivered by public transport have a quite long (and in some instances hilly) walk to get to these schools, unless the P13 is on their route.

But I entirely agree that ignoring road restrictions (and indeed leaving cars with engines running) is not acceptable behaviour.

Do you have a guilty secret?  Did you drive your? kids to school and/or were you driven?  I'm sure we would all love to hear.  

That's a bit rich coming from you with you is it not!?

For the record, my kids all get public transport to their schools......

Sounds like Mal is doing a bit of projection there.

    • Atanas did a brilliant job on my bathroom renovation. Nothing was too much trouble and they were clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
    • If we accept what the OP has written, and it does seem credible, the father did not respond to the incident appropriately. His child was out of his line of sight when the OP was hit from behind by the child on a bike. Many of us, having been startled like this, might express some displeasure. Rather than a sincere and concerned apology, it sounds as though the father instead attempted to paint the OP as the problem, even laughing at them. I don't know what kind of message that would send to his child but doubt it is a good one. 
    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.
