Bazj Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I never said I was perfect though - I don't even iron my teatowels! well you must have been born outside of Lymm then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LymmParent Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Oh Baz. I have to admit I was. I cover it well but I was born in central Manchester, back in the days when there was a community there. Coronation Street is my spiritual home, United and City are my teams and (sob) despite all my schooling being in Lymm, I call a soft bread roll a BARMCAKE. Oh it feels good to let it all out.....

LymmParent Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 No, but the light stays on so you can have a bit of a read until you feel better about life in general. Gas ovens tend not to allow that all-important reflective period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LymmParent Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Think it was me told you, Gary, over in the uniform poll thread, when I posted: "We are swashers and bucklers, enjoying a bit of hot debate on the basis of mutual respect and playing by the rules - no swearing, no fighting, no personal insults. Sarcasm, irony and quibbling are all in the rules, as is dummy spitting and the requirement to have the last word." after someone asked "What are you two like?" How do you spell Alzheimer's.....

Gary Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Well just to ensure you don't have the last word it has all gone very quiet on the new uniform front! I take it the latest issue of Lymm Life with the Head Teacher giving the school's side of the story has now given a balanced view of the whole sorry saga.

Dizzy Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Not really wanting to open a battle ground again so please refrain from going over old arguements again (says me ) but has anyone bought the new full uniform yet and how much did it cost. Only asking as someone has told me how much their kids uniform was in total ( a new year 7 pupil) and I find it hard to believe Maybe they exagerated it a little but it would be interesting to know after all the discussions that went on.

kateoflymm Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Was it a Lymm High uniform, Dismayed? If so, I'd be interested to know the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yes Kate it was a new starters (year 7) LYMM High School Uniform. It apparently cost an awful lot than was expected but I'm waiting for a reply from any other parents until I divulge the amount that I was told just to clarify it. I can PM you with it though if you'd like to know sooner as no other parents seem to have mentioned it on here yet Guess they are all rich after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky pete Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 All the prices can be seen on the school shop website. http://www.lymmhs.co.uk/index.phtml?d=23926 It does look extremely expensive compared with what's available on the high street.

Dizzy Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hope you and others haven't ordered or bought your kids uniform based on the details from the site Inky as the link you provided is for the OLD school uniform NOT the new uniform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inky pete Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I was assuming the new one, being even more "niche market" wasn't going to be any cheaper than the old one, and pointing out that even the old one was a bit of a rip off. ?10 for a single boys short sleeved white shirt?? Have they not heard of Matalan???? http://www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online/Schoolwear/2pk-short-sleeve-shirt-white/3758 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Or M&S or ASDA or Tesco......, they have all got back to school deals on......I'm told. PS Just look what uniform for Eton costs...sense of irony in the name of the website, Tom Brown was Rugby. http://www.tombrowntailors.co.uk/college.cfm Nice to see that they sell a 2nd hand tailcoat and vest for those parents feeling the pinch.

Lucy Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Do all the people who are complaining about the cost of a school uniform also complain about the cost of a glass of wine, or a pint of beer, or other items of clothing? They are all outrageous but people carry on buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Been sharpening your claws Lucy? That is one of the shortcomings of the British. they NEVER complain. Everyone in business should be allowed to make a living, but the mark-up on goods is normally pretty extortionate. Yes, people do complain about the price of drink. I even complain about the price of cigarettes, because if I wanted to smoke again, I couldn't afford to. I certainly complain about the price of petrol. WHY shouldn't people complain. Your not normally shy in that department yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Lucy, one of the common converation topics when social drinking is the cost of the drink but we aren't being forced to drink it. It is irritating whereas the uniform ripoff is disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy so many glasses of wine/beer in one day (or even a week for that matter) that leads you to drawing such an odd comparrison then I suggest that you may have a drink problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all outrageous but people carry on buying them. Difference is, they have a choice about whether to buy them and where they can buy them from. A rip-off closed shop supplier will always attract complaints. Gary, I don't think the protestors have gone away - they've just recognised that those making the decisions aren't interested in listening and are saving their breath.
