I've been thinking ( yes me, oh joy ) this for a while.


Other peoples words & phrases stand out so much sometimes we find ourselves adopting them or they evoke a particular place & person


For example Keef wrote-


and the soundtrack is brill (on the feel good movie thread)


Brill is a great word, so 80's and so ready for a revival. Well done Keef !



My mum used to say "I should co-co" if you pushed your luck a bit too far, where did that come from ?

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
