Five Englishmen boarded a train just behind five Scots, who, as a group had only purchased one ticket. Just before the conductor came through, all the Scots piled into the toilet stall at the back of the car. As the conductor passed the stall, he knocked and called”Tickets, please!” and one of the Scots slid a ticket under the door. It was punched, pushed back under the door, and when it was safe all the Scots came out and took their seats. The Englishmen were tremendously impressed by the Scots’ ingenuity. On the trip back, the five Englishmen decided to try this themselves and purchased only one ticket. They noticed that, oddly, the Scots had not purchased any tickets this time. Anyway, again, just before the conductor came through, the Scots piled into one of the toilet stalls, the Englishmen into the other. Then one of the Scots leaned out, knocked on the Englishmen’s stall and called “Ticket, Please!” When the ticket slid out under the door, he picked it up and quickly closed the door

Suddenly the train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train,there were no lights in the carriages and it went completely dark. Then there was this kissing noise and the sound of a really loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and the Scotsman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the Englishman had his hand against his face as he had been slapped.

The Englishman was thinking: ‘The Scottish fella must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead.’

Claudia Schiffer was thinking: ‘The English fella must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Scotsman and got slapped for it.’

And the Scotsman was thinking: ‘This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I’ll make that kissing noise and slap that English b**tard again .

Time for a Laugh!

How important is your child’s back?
Have you been to the school and, like me had to sit on a small lump of plastic.  The older generation of school children do not fare any better as they are using hand me downs from the 1970’s.
Currently there are growing reports of children complaining of back and neck pain so what chance for a future of back pain if they are suffering at this early age?
The education system pumps all the current expenditure into technology , our daughter has a very impressive computerised whiteboard that has a computer screen projected on to it, and teachers salaries!
Unfortunately the seating and furniture has not moved forward at the same pace.
A couple of years ago we supplied Cornwall College with new seating and furniture.  At the customers request we used kitchen tops as they were the right height and supported the students when the had the urge to dance off the floor.
The seating met all current standards and several years on is still going strong.
Should we not be doing the same for the younger ones?
