What a good idea?

Selective memory K?   I was in Aberdeen during the 1990 world cup and one of the games was Scotland v Brazil  and all the children in Aberdeen and I suspect everywhere else in Scotland had the afternoon off to watch the game.  I chose to drive home and I guess there was less than a quarter of the traffic than normal on the road all the way to the English Border

must have slipped K's mind?

It won't have slipped his mind, it's a rarity watching Scotland in a big tournament!

i don't have a problem with the approach to children's schooling being less regimented. Back in my day it certainly was more about a rounded education and less about the school hitting targets and ticking boxes. Holidays in term time never held me back, nor did a day or afternoon spent doing something less formal in class. Somehow after all that disruption I managed a degree course, a good job and retired at 45, so something went right somewhere! Let the blasted children have a bit of a break, especially if they have earned it!

Write your comments here...Sorry but Ihave little interest in soccer, So that match would not have registered.  I prefer watching  proper games like Rugby Union and Rugby League. 

Soccer performers are just a load of overpaid primadonnas who should be full members of Equity ( The actor's union. ). The way they take dives when they have never been touched and lie on the ground moaning like babies if someone tackles and takes the ball off them, is not attractive to watch.

No folks I'll just stick to my rugby.

Oasis Academy Lord's Hill in Southampton plans to let pupils finish in time for the England v Wales Euro 2016 game next Thursday at 14:00 BST.

what a good idea?

Must email the boss today!

What game are they contesting? 

its the euro caravaner of the year Ian

I see the Principal of the Academy had changed his mind and pupils will not be allowed to finish early.

He is reported as saying it is more appropriate for the pupils to stay in class with the game screened in school time.

They're going to stay in school and watch it on telly!

Apparantly you aren't allowed to discuss anything to do with the EU.......whether it's political ir not.......
