We'd all be looking out towards the girls school that has the blinds closed. And watching snails crawling across the ceiling.
Blue Coat was single sex [girls in 6th form] when mine went. The school is massively over subscribed. The story is that some parents complained to the city council about their boys not getting an interview and the system which had been in place for a long. long time was looked at. Long story short, the government stepped in and said either stop the intake policy being selective or take girls. It didn't give the school much choice so now there's only 1 'boys only' school in the city but a few 'girls only'.
I was at the hospital this morning when they said it (had to leave to take lad to nursery) and I joked about her only going once a week (genuine) so we could be waiting a while
Oh well its best to check everythings A okay anyway You could always put some laxatives in her hos food if she is taking ages though
