Re: children in trouble for playing hopscotch

Isn't it ridiculous! What sad lives some people must lead to have the time to complain about chalk. Would these people be happier if the same kids were breaking their windows or damaging their cars?
We have a similar problem round here though, the kids are moaned at for playing football because the balls do occasionally hit parked cars, but if they play chase games or army games, which involves running round making a lot of noise, they are moaned at for that as well. Even though the kids have all gone in by 9pm. The general concensus seems to be 'children should be seen and not heard' which I thought had gone out with the ark!!!!
Roll on winter when its too dark and cold for kids to play out
