Not anymore it seems.
Schools are banning time-honoured playtime pastimes such as conkers because headteachers are afraid of being sued by parents in the event of an accident.
Other schools have banned football on the grounds that it is anti-social, while another has banned skipping after some girls fell over.
This country has gone stark raving mad.
If my grandson stays with me at the weekends ...I'm commiting a criminal offence or his mother ...my daughter ...is.
Cos I haven't been police checked.
We have to start shouting from the rooftops but saying that ...there are some posters like tyti and punk who seem to agree with all this nonsense.
God help us.
