    Political Corruption Starts at a Young Age

    Isis Junior has just been elected class rep on her school's Pupil Council (I'm so proud of her I could burst!)

    "So what are the burning issues on the playground?" I ask her. "What are you going to tackle first?"

    "I dunno" she says, looking totally unconcerned "...but I get a free pass for the Bouncy Castle at the End-of Term Party!"

    I predict she'll be travelling to school in a chauffeur driven Merc at the Taxpayer's expense before the month is out.

    That girl will go far!

    FuzzyFelt-Gate?
    Playdo-Gate?

    I presume so: the card shop concession in Borders locally (Paperchase?) stocks birthday cards which have a Fuzzy Felt front. Quite cute - though I'm sure the rude versions are only a matter of time

    You can! We've got a few sets and they're great fun

    A burning issue has arisen for Junior to sort out! Her classmates want to be able to change their nickname on the school website every year

    Oh the drama of it all!
