Minor Rant Thread part 7

£80 for a pair of Clark's shoes for the boy. From a seconds outlet.....he'll be grown out them in six weeks too.

Bins, that's really horrible. Sounds like they're trying to intimidate, or prove a point. Maybe it is an inside job - folk have been watching Allotment Wars....

My first ever rant I think..( I am easy going but still I obviously don't rant enough)

Same as Jules... how can they charge that much for kids shoes..???? For shoes for a three year old and an 18 month old, I could buy three pairs of adult shoes at least...

Try my most recent bill as son is now in an adult shoe for school - £120 for leather. School shoes were always circa £45-55 for me as I bought Start Rite or Ricosta.
Still a kid and paying adult prices for adult clothes and our school changed the uniform twice within two years...grrrr! Thank goodness this is nearing conclusion for me.

Blimey! That is a bit steep

BM - I have posted a comment on the website - if we all did the same it might send out a message to those in authority

Perhaps a separate thread?

Exactly. The Boy if 6ft, takes a size 11 shoe now. I can't get him a school blazer, it has to be a plain black jacket from M&S - everything else is too short in the back/sleeve. The fight I had with the school over that was plain idiotic - I ended up taking in one of the largest size blazers and getting The Boy to model it - sleeves almost at his elbows, a good 5 inches short in the back - to demonstrate my point. I then had to fight for a badge to sew on to it......sheesh! And it's not like he's the only one over 6ft either, lots of parents have had the same problems.

Still.....another 5 months and he's done with uniforms, thankfully.

6 days of antibiotics, feeling grotty, nausia (sp) numerous 'toilet trips'... and theyre not working at all, in fact the ear infections have got worse..now inner and outer.
And after the doc said this he poked a big swab/cotton bud into my ear as far as he could, that really did hurt, i dont mind the gooey yellow smelly stuff coming out... i just wanna hear!!

The phrase 'I'm not being funny but...'. It guarantees the speaker is about to insult or belittle you, or both. If you want to be rude, just do it, I'd have more respect for you then.

My painful knee.....I've far too much to be doing to have this!
