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.

How did you get to school? It's not a rhetorical question. I'm interested.  I've told you how I and most of my close family got to school.  What is your problem with answering?

Mind your own beeswax.

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.

    • Hi!  I was wondering whether anyone had a birth pool that they are looking to sell? Thanks! Sarah
    • @Rumbero Just as I had suspected. The meter is outside under the pavement with an easy access metal cover and so I shall be taking regular readings from now on for about the next 60 days. Then I will have an accurate measure of consumption. There is a device immediately under the cover connected to the meter which guess sends the data to TW.
    • Yes - the fact they go long on how awful the other adult was but seem a bit reluctant to talk about their own behaviour! If you actually read the OP, their argument with the man wasn't about the kid hitting him, but about OP being told that their "reaction was over the top". Well, OK, then, OP - what was that reaction? OP then says "As I walked away, I heard him and two other adults talking and laughing about my reaction – yes, laughing." That's an interesting detail. Many possibilities here. Is the world is so chock full of sadists that even casual onlookers cackle at the sight of someone being smacked into by a 4 year old on a bike? Did OP make a bit of a tit of themselves with their reaction? Or something else entirely? We'll never really know because we don't have both sides of the story - in fact, not even a complete one-sided story...
    • Do you have any reason, other than malice, to doubt the OP's two posts setting out what happened?
