You do...Which comments do you mean, Lilyofthefield? You don't get to claim all the bad ones, you know! We have plenty of weirdos, poor spellers and nutty commentators, along with the more insightful and sensible ones. This article came from our local paper, and when I emailed the link to Frank there were already quite a lot of comments. It's a bit like Youtube videos - you need to be a bit of a masochist to enjoy reading the comments.

I think they were written by the halfwits who send us stuff from the Local Authority. The similarities in spelling and grammar are just too great to be coincidental.

Us southerners are laughing our heads off at those stupid banana-benders and their insanely PC government.<BR/><BR/>As soon as we read it, we performed a simple test on Junior. We ascertained that it was the mark that counts, not the colour that it is written in. If he got 24/25 and it was written in red, he was happy. If he got 24/100 and it was written in red, he was unhappy and embarrassed.<BR/><BR/>Down here in NSW, we're just hoping that we can unelect our state government before they try to pull this sort of crap on us.Boy on a bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452119541546978454noreply@blogger.com
