A TRIANGULAR flapjack has three potentially dangerous pointed corners, according to a school in Essex which has therefore replaced them with square flapjacks (Echo, Mar 26).
However, a rectangular replacement flapjack will have four corners and by simply slicing diagonally could produce twice as much (triangular) ammo.
A circular flapjack would make a safe Frisbee.
Hell and damnation! Is this The Only Way in Essex?
Shouldn’t educationalists take this opportunity to teach children some basic manners at the table – that they shouldn’t throw food – rather than come up with such a “half-baked”
solution?
