Not everyone has the time/talent to get out a sewing machine to get an outfit together.

Presume this is another school's enterprise of a day for kid's attending in fancy dress of subject they are studying.

The other week, colleague of mine had to send son from Peel Park in Evacuees outfit .. easy you may think.

After time spent on Internet, looking at pictures, etc., getting some brushed cotton for her to make shirt, borrowing begging jackets, flat caps, short trousers,visiting that shop in Abbey Street, the lad eventually did go to school looking realistic.

They have no right to put pressure /even costs on parents to rise to this event .. made me angry.

P.S. Garinda .. think your Mummy idea was brilliant ... xx
