"Possibly" Off-Topic but its like yesterday when myfriend, accidently, broke the microwave plate. Was she handing you your arse on it at the time, Tony?


Still "polite and funny" at the same time Maxie.


Thats why you'll always be The Forum favourite...your certainly mine M8;-)

the fact that annaj CONTINUED reading DESPITE her assertion that she found the experience "really unpleasant" seems, to me anyway, a little unconvincing


Oh, honestly, Ladymuck, I can't believe I'm bothering to answer this, but since you seem to be implying that I either masochistically forced myself to repeatedly check a thread I didn't like, or that I'm lying and it didn't really offend me, but I reported it anyway, either of which would be frankly a bit bonkers, I feel compelled to respond.


Here's how it was: I kept an eye on the original thread, because I thought it was interesting, but I noticed it was starting to go down hill a bit. I then went away for a bit and did something else, you know life stuff, and later came back to look at the forum. I noticed there had been lots of activity on the thread, so I read through all the posts since I'd last read it. As I read them I was troubled by an increasing feeling that it all felt a bit wrong to me, so I posted to that effect and reported the posts to the moderator. Then I went away and got on with my life. That doesn't seem that unconvincing or weird to me.


Please, can you just accept that I, and others, think that on this occasion a joke went too far and get over it.


Now...


Surely then, it's all the fault of the women who buy these trashy mags


I know you were joking, but there may well be something in that.


But I'm only allowing myself and half hour lunch break before it's back to the books, so we'll have to discuss that one another time.

I'd be interested in joining you for that debate, as I have serious concerns about magazines like Heat and Reveal and Closer and so on and on and on


But I am freelancing so need to do some actual work


And also, I need to do some actual work on my seeming (seems madam?) joylessness

I think this thread has been blown out of proportion a little bit.


There is nothing new or controversial about a bunch of guys letching over female TV presenters, and teasing each other over their tastes. Women are no better, a lot of the time.


The real controversy is that there appears to be different selection criteria for male and female news readers.

But Moos, surely for any woman going for a job as a 'Page 3 stunna' that's just confusing...


(though I suspect most 'Page 3 stunnas' would even find tying their shoelaces confusing).

    • They are very good
    • Having  current and relevant experience of both Charter North and Charter East with regards to their conduct towards SEN pupils and their families, I would say that their conduct and behaviour is wholly lacking in understanding as well as making no effort to make reasonable adjustments for the SEN pupil as legally required under Equality Act 2010. Furthermore, I believe that their behaviour is wholly illegal. According to data from Ambitious About Autism, unfortunately that is not uncommon We have separately requested legal advice as to whether or not the specific conduct of the school and certain teachers constitutes a criminal offence under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 or other legislation. These links have some very good materials to assist parents: https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk/understanding-autism/education/exclusions-know-your-rights https://www.ipsea.org.uk https://sossen.org.uk   Also, this link specifically for girls with autism as this tends to be diagnosed at a much later stage than boys and requires different support and reasonable adjustments that the neither of the policies nor behaviours of Charter East or Charter North reflect. https://autisticgirlsnetwork.org   Helen Hayes MP for Dulwich & West Norwood and whose constituency includes Charter North is Chair of the Education Committee at the Houses of Parliament They published this report on the SEND crisis on 18 Sept 2025 https://committees.parliament.uk/work/8684/solving-the-send-crisis/   Ellie Reeves (Rachel Reeves’ sister and formerly Chair of the Labour Party) is the MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich - the constituency under which Charter East falls I would urge any parents who are concerned about their children, whether SEN or not, who attend Charter North or Charter East to write to your MP canvassing their support and requesting that they write to their respective school on this subject, referencing this report of the Education Committee and the failures of Charter East and Charter North with regards to SEN, their illegal behaviour and soliciting a plan of action from them to immediately stop such behaviour and support SEN pupils with reasonable adjustments as required under the Equality Act 2010. Even if your child is not SEN, the school implementing the correct and legally required procedures materially improves the school environment for all pupils, teachers and non-teaching staff. Often the reasonable adjustments can actually be relatively minor but have a very material benefit. In our experience, there have been one or two teachers who have shown this with very positive results; however, this is the opposite of the institutional approach of both schools which is wholly negative, unsupportive and often illegal. In addition to EHCPs, there is also huge pressure at CAMHS and insufficient resource to support all cases and meet demand.  Even if families and their child are lucky to get access to it, there remains very long wait lists to access treatment.  The same is true in the private sector. A proactive and practical, common sense approach to SEN in this manner by Charter North and Charter East would also help to reduce pressure on CAMHS The latest tragedy last week at Charter North means that this is more pressing than ever.    
    • Thought I'd add a comment as sadly there are now too many primary schools for the number of children in this area... St Anthony's is a wonderful school and my 2 sons were extremely happy throughout the time they were there. They have some open days for reception and  nursery in Nov I believe and welcome children and families of all faiths and backgrounds. It has lovely staff and I cannot recommend it more highly!
    • Anyone has lavender buds they don’t want/that I could harvest/cut and use? Ideally in Peckham/ED goose green area.  Thanks in advance!
