At the end of the school fete (qv) there was not an unnoticable amount of rubbish blown about the school field and playground by the stiff breeze. So, using teacher initiative the remaining kids were offered a 'prize' for collecting as much rubbish as they could. The prize was a serious 2 lollypops!

Off the kids went, sprinting out the door with their carrier bags. Some time later most of the kids had returned, with their bags holding napkins, paper plates and sweet wrappers. There were still a few left outside, so I went to call them in. One of the kids in a makem top was stood by one of the bins helping himself to the pre-collected rubbish and stuffing his carrier bad to the gills! He was somewhat disappointed to find his reward was the same as the others (dorty cheating get!), including some mags.

Full marks for initiative and competitiveness. No marks for a bit of common sense :-)

PS - he was the younger brother of the Fun Run sprinter. Well, they've got to win something...

Hunh! I had to clean up the rubbish in the players' dressing room at RFK the other night(players are such piglets!) and I didn't get any lollipops. I feel cheated. ;-)

Sorry. In future I shall endeavour to make lame jokes about people in barcodes doing everyday things.

For example, imagine my mirth the other day when I saw a mag in a public phone box.
