Ohhh I just love Sundays, I love the Sunday papers, well I love the Sunday Times mainly. Now we have moved to civilisation, i.e we have a corner shop and not one of those dreary Tesco Express jobbies, we have our paper delivered every day. It's bliss, I am in love with Caitlin Moran, Giles Coran , AA Gill and even gobby Jezzer Clarkson, their writing often has me giggling and thinking too.
SOOO yesterday I am reading this piece about how a school in Scotland has stopped making Father's Day cards for fear of offending single parent families and lesbians!!! I just about choked on my toast and went "oh my God look at this PC nonsense rant rant rant...." then OMG I realised they were talking about the school our son currently attends.!!!! I am flabbergasted, stunned and frankly bloody angry. How DARE they!! Alex's class all made cards, but some other classes did not. Has the world gone mad, why is is the minority rule? It'll be Christmas cancelled next by these interfering mad people.
I was ready to chain myself to the school gates in protest, I was hoping for a queue of TV station vans lining up with huge satellite dishes, I did my make up and had it all planned out, my impassioned speech about how mad people are diluting our culture and wrapping everyone up in cotton wool.............................................but zilch.............nowt.................the worlds media stayed away and apparently no-one I spoke to reads the Sunday Times. So my preparation was in vain, not even a squeak from the school either. WELL if any of the teachers responsible for this idiotic idea read this - SHAME ON YOU FOR BEING SUCH IDIOTS!!!!
Thank goodness we are moving schools this year, good riddance I say........................I did warn you of the "rant fest", I am orf to bed...

I agree Sam this is ridiculous! This country has gone pc crazy. There is currently talk about stopping the Red Arrows from flying at the opening ceremony of the 2012 olympics - for fear of offending anyone as they may be seen as being too British. I ask you...
I totally agree with you sam - the whole thing is barking mad!!!!!
My youngest son's school only make something for dads in Reception and thats it!!!!!!!
I do wonder what is going on in this country at the mo.
Clarex
blinkin ridiculous
card making is so much fun with primary school kids, they get so much out of it.
Yes, father's day and mother's day may be emotive for various reasons, but does that mean everyone has to stop acknowledging it?
I was the very proud recipient of a Father's Day card my 6 year old DD made this year. She quite simply said, "Daddy isn't here for me to give him this, so I made it for you instead."
