ONE of the schools in Bishop Auckland had a day’s holiday for the royal wedding this week.
Don’t ask me which nuptials, it may even be those in Monaco.
I believe that some schools oblige parents to seek permission in writing to take their children on holidays during term. Some even have the temerity to fine those that don’t.
Funny old world.
