Sending your child to London

[Royston Vasey]

No from me. Not at that age. London is an awful place. I'm not adverse to my child going away for a couple of days with the school as i think independence is a great thing, but London is a horrible place and i cant think of anywhere worse in the country they could go.

Are you for real?

That could be a problem mind, the 4 of us went down to London a few years ago and managed to get split up on the tube, the door slammed shut the nano second i stepped on carrying my 6 year old leaving our lass and the boy on the platform..

It was a proper last second decision to pick her up as well, if i let her go on first like I had been (I normally get wrong for helping her cos she's an independent little bollocks) it would have had her away by herself. Shudder.....

But they give warnings before the doors close, it's not like they just close out of nowhere.

Seen loads of groups schoolchildren on the tube. All seem to be managed quite well. If a random group of American teachers and students can do it, as I seen recently, I'm sure the vast majority here can.

It f***ing didn't like, the door twatted me on the back just as the warning went off.

That's right, they shouldn't.
Kids unlucky enough to be born in London should be shipped out by train to live with familues in the country . . . at least until this whole thing blows over.

This is a wind up right

No parent in their right mind would allow this to happen in today's world.

Your well out of touch.

You're a tit

Not really, i'm not from Sunderland, never seen that train station or civic centre. I do know that the city centre there is a dump too though. I'll admit London is better than that.

I hadn't realised just how insular and out if touch home was until I read this. f***ing hell.

Aye but there’s a nice beach mate and the houses are cheap so obviously it’s God’s own country etc

Tbf there's much less chance of being stabbed or having acid hoyed ower you anarl, although even in London the chances of this happening to you are negligible.

Didn't someone have his face sliced up in red house last week?

The bairn's 4 and I'd send him on any trip for a few days off.

Can't believe some of the comments on this thread like, or the parents refusing to send their kids, especially when it's been pointed out plenty of schools do it year on year. Yeah London is big, yeah it's busy, but people wouldn't be visiting from all over the world if it was that dangerous.

Its both funny and worrying at the same time

That's because I support Sunderland, I only ever go there for the matches.

not enough children want to go in case they get blown up by terrorists

i suspected this was where this thread was heading...

 

[Keawyeds]

I was happy for her to go and have paid the deposit. It's now been cancelled as not enough children want to go in case they get blown up by terrorists.

Forgive me, I know your kids are all very astute and know what's going on in the world, but I don't believe for a second that it's the other children who have said they don't want to get blown up.
That sounds like the parents may have dripped that into their ears

 

[nyron4england]

so just to clarify, the terrorists are winning. terrorists 1 - westerners 0.

Not sure scaring a few northern divvies away counts as a win like.

London is hardly on it's arse.

I reckon we should find out how many peope were happy to send their kids and have an SMB whip round to make up the differencde cash wise to make it vaible.. let the 15 or so go and the others will miss out
