A famous comedian once made a joke about born, and stables.

Of course they are born here...but that doesn't make it acceptable for them to flout the school rules that must have been in place when they were accepted for places...they haven't just gone to that school they ar 14 years old..if their parents do not like the rules then let these juveniles go to where this form of appearance is acceptable.

When I mentioned about people accepting the rules of the country they have chosen to live in....I wasn't on about sending them back to whence they came, but just saying that they were free to leave at any time if they didn't feel that this country suited their culture...and for some it obviously doesn't, but I guess they are reluctant to give up any tax credits or family allowance that they get here(and maybe wouldn't get elsewhere).

Ya I wonder why its always us who have to change to cater for others who choose to live here, whether they're born here or not, if people don't like our way of living Manchester airport is only around 30 miles away and flights leave regularly for all points east

It may have been a slow day in the newsroom, but it has still provoked interest...and comments.

Re: School Beards.

Pretty sure that in the early '50s there were RC and Jewish pupils at AGS - they were excused morning assembly during prayers. Not 100% certain, maybe Bob Dobson can confirm or otherwise.

There were certainly none catholics at Holy Family (Mt Carmel) in the early 60s, they were exempt prayers at morning assembly

In late 50s, 59 to be precise i was refused admission by The Education Authority admittance to AGS cos i was catholic, even went wi me mam up to the office on "Cannon St" to argue the toss.

Says a lot on the day after a jury convicted an alchoholic mother of eight of manslaughter. The poor mite dying in unimaginable squalor and being found mummified years later.
Hutton was the daughter of a nurse came from a middleclass background and herself had been a care assistant. Professionals (not my description) who visited the house noted no concerns about the other children despite their untreated head lice, fungal infections and signs of frostbite like damage on their toes.
Then again there's already a thread "Tragic Human Failure"
