There was dissent in the ranks of the parents picking up children at school today.......each family is limited to three tickets for the Nativity Play, and these will cost £1.50 each.
Apparently the money raised will go towards underwriting the cost of special events for the children at the end of term, but we don`t yet know what the events are.
Hmmmmm. I am intrigued.
I still think three tickets per family is miserly. My mother , my husband, D4 and myself will all want to watch, and that makes four of us. If my ex-husband (D3`s father) and my other daughter want to go, I can see World War 3 being a possibility.
Ironically, the Baptist Church where it will be held can hold at least a thousand people in the pews, and there are only 180 children in the school.
The reason given for number rationing is the need to adhere to Fire Safety Regulations, although there will be no naked flames, no candles, (they`re not Orthodox, after all !) and there are no less than three separate exit doors around the Church. Not to mention the fact that the Fire station is less than one minute away.....
Peace on Earth...
except when choosing which members of the family can go to the Nativity Play !
