Parents or more usually a 'lone-parent' that would quite happily claim to be in poverty will quite happily drop the best part of £1,000 on a brand new, ridiculously over priced buggy.<br /><br />The spurious claim being that they want their (usually just her though) kids to have the best. As if pushing round a barely sentient lump in a £150 buggy will some how affect their chances of a happy life. That clearly already being out of the question given the quality of individual pushing said buggy. <br /><br />Despite earning a fairly decent salary and perhaps not strictly needing to, my wife and I buy secondhand all the time. Why wouldn't we? I work hard to earn that money and want to ensure it goes as far as possible. <br /><br />Oh, hang on, I think I might be on to something...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-75120526340146161212015-05-02T16:18:26.773+01:002015-05-02T16:18:26.773+01:00I'd disagree with you to a certain extent, in ...I'd disagree with you to a certain extent, in that a school should, if necessary, lend the pupil any item deemed necessary for that day's learning - though most primary schools supply basic stationery as part of standard classroom equipment.<br /><br />However, birthday cards, presents and haircuts have nothing to do with the function of the school and advice to parents, unless it directly concerns the child, should be offered on a voluntary basis only.<br /><br />It is interesting that the primary school attended by my children, with a number of families in difficult circumstances, abandoned its second-hand clothing rail (uniform items, trainers and sports kit given by departing/growing pupils and sold for a small donation to school funds - or, in cases of dire need, given free) because of a lack of demand - "People want to buy new" - while the second-hand uniform shop at the prep school down the road is thriving.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-23699595116494100882015-05-02T14:54:25.000+01:002015-05-02T14:54:25.000+01:00Unbelievable, the 'one stop arse wipe shop'...Unbelievable, the 'one stop arse wipe shop' chain continues to expand.<br /><br />What a state this country is in. Porous borders allowing the dregs of the world in to claim their free health treatments, money and housing and our own dregs of humanity - our indigenous chav underclass - to claim the same and continue not working.
