M1321 it's funny when it's parents that are literally across the road that are late and the excuses given like traffic. You're like um you are in walking distance and in some cases we can see your house from the windows

We were once late for school because the bus had to wait for escaped cows to be moved from the road. It wasn't questioned on arrival at school because it sounded too silly to make up

Auntielettie standard in places in the countryside. Cows escape or you get the farmer moving them from fields so no not silly

The taxi couldn't find my house well thats what I said a few times 😂 there was no such thing as sat nav or Google maps then.

The school was out my back gate & across the field but it was about a ten minute drive because you spent 6min just trying to get out the junction at the end of my housing estate at that time in the morning, then had to drive all the way round to get to the front 🤣

I heard this on the news the other day and it did make me chuckle stopping at greggs is relatable on the way to work sometimes but im not sure I would if I was going to be late 😂

Best? I don’t know. But I recall hearing some class mates read a letter from a mother excusing her child from school as she had a ‘stomach‘ (just as well the kid wasn’t being home schooled)

hspexy ROFL 🤣 I thought that about a letter my teacher friend told me about just before the summer holiday. It read "please excuse my child form being absolute as they had sickness and dizzyrea" 🤭 being an English teacher, my friend says she wrote in red pen above the words to correct them to Absent & Diarrhea.& She said she so wanted to send the letter back with the corrections as it had annoyed her all day lol
