Is it a sure sign of aging that I think all school children look scruffy. Male and female they come wandering out of school finished for the day in the early afternoon and all looking like they have fallen off horses and been dragged backwards through a hedge. I understand that the Health & Safety Executive has taken a hand in smartening them up. They will no longer be allowed to wear old fashioned knotted ties with unofficial knots; ties which can hang loose or be offset to one side or the other, the shirt unbuttoned. Apparently, it is now considered that these ties are a hazard. Some bully could grab the tie, slide the knot up tight on the neck and pull it so hard that it cannot be removed. The implications are horrendous - school and teachers sued, child dying of strangulation, blood in the playground, Dept of Education sued, etc. It cannot be contemplated. So from now on, all ties will be clip-on type and as a bonus they should look smarter. Want to bet? Is this dumbing down or just lunacy?
