The new(ish) headmistress at the local comprehensive school has brought in a number of measures that have been raising several eyebrows in the local community. Some of the changes made have been much needed; such as kitting out the foyer and reception area and generally giving the place a feeling that it is looked after. Others such as keeping the kids in school during Feast Monday haven’t gone down so well.

In fact I would go as far to say that the raised eyebrow to unraised eyebrow ratio hasn’t been so weighted in favour of the former for quite a while.

The latest reports from our correspondent in the battlezone (that’ll be my mum) seem to indicate that the headmistress has had to bow down to popular pressure and free the kids (just for one day mind) in order to attend the Feast celebrations. I think we can all breath a sigh of relief.

As an aside, as fascinating as the article linked to is, it can’t compete with some of the comments posted. My favourite so far is the person who on being unable to find anything on the Feast on Google came to the conclusion that it can’t be anything big. Are we already reaching the point where if it’s not on Google then it doesn’t exist?
