Youāve got to fight back man! I was pleased when my eldest (just turned 7) complained āwhy do you act like you think you are a Kingā when I demanded my 3 boys tidy up the Knex, Lego, pipe cleaner animals messes strewn through the house before being allowed to go for a swim.

They canāt have given them all to the States, can they? The ones left behind probably donāt have similar inscriptions though.

āGive me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!ā

So Boris et al will get to see Susieās notes before filling in their questionnaires??

The latest is that those who made statements tp susie see what they have said, nothing else. Apparently a request by the union.
