I know Wenchy ~ unbelievable isn't it? And these people are in charge.
When they met up the teacher called a role, ensured all were present and said "follow me" and charged off down The Strand. THW said to BF "This is not the way to the Duke of York's Theatre, should we tell her?" "Not yet" came the reply. When they reached Charing Cross Station they decided to tell her via a male teacher who laughed, asked them to show the class the way, spoke to "Miss" who had a small tantrum and followed behind fuming.
The detention was cancelled. The junior male teacher sought them out during lunch today and thanked them. "Miss" has not spoken to either of them all day.
For those who don't know the correct route is the one diametrically opposite to the one selected by "Miss"
THW dressed in her usual (when not in school uniform) jeans, boots, scarf and black overcoat tells us that her little friends turned up in the latest "scally" fashion of Shorts over black tights, frilly little blouses etc. In other words what "Girls Aloud" & co were wearing two years ago. THW says she refused to acknowledge that she was with them as they looked like "tourists".
When they left the theatre one girl expressed surprise at the lack of rain "Because of all the thunder while we was watching the play like" THW asked "What thunder?" and the child said she had heard a storm which must have been overhead because the thunder was happening every few minutes. "Miss” said she had heard it too. THW and BF explained that what they had heard was the rumble of the tube as it goes under the theatre.
I've told the two of them to write it all up for the school magazine but they say there is no point as the scallys and sheepshaggers will never understand.
I am soooooooooo glad we have taught our children about life outside of Wales.
