Seriously, oh yes I'm sure we're all going to think Hyndburn is so much more attractive if only we tell ourselves that there's nothing at all wrong with it!!

Come on Peter we need to be realistic, as Garinda says if we can't accept constructive criticism we are never going to make progress. This is one of my grouches with education these days. Nothing is allowed to be wrong anymore. It has to be "not qute the answer required" or some such twaddle and teachers can't use red ink because it's too aggressive. COCKYPOP! If I had a red tick I was chuffed. If I had a red cross then I knew it was something I needed to work on.

There are areas of Hyndburn where a red tick is appropriate and areas where a dirty great big red cross is more appropriate - those areas can then aspire to improving so as to warrant a tick.
