Thinking on it,
My 3 University educated children know more than their children are likely to know, whilst I know infinitely more than my children, but left Grammar School at 16.

What is that telling us?

I'm one of the followers, wonder if he'll remember the name. I remember his Mom being upset that he'd taken her grandkids to Australia and she wondered if she'd ever see them again.

Speaking of which, we will soon be into 'boiler season' in the schools.

I take your point, grahamite2, but at that age some are six foot plus and some are four foot tall.

#92692 What has protecting kids from killing each other got to do with the state. Too much 'nannyism' imo.

Oh aye, there are lots of incidents. I heard of a scrum that collapsed when it was muddy and a lad at the bottom drowned.

But such things happen in all sports surely, notably cricket?

We played for one session, back in 1979, and a kid broke his neck.

We never played again.

That's perfectly reasonable, of course, saul.

Prof Allyson Pollock, from Newcastle University

And what does some bird know about rugby?

I was told there are more minor injuries in Rugby, but more serious injuries in soccer. And hockey is worse than both put together!

'The Office for National Statistics (ONS) says 4.9 million women were working last year while looking after children - up 1.2 million since 1996.'

How can they work and look after children at the same time?
