Kids homework

[Tin Pot]

The Boy found online a castle model plan from a shop, so I phoned up a model shop to get a model kit for a castle for The Boy to do his homework.

"...great, can I reserve that and get an idea on the price?"

"Sure but I'll have to check the shelves and call you back."

<16 hrs pass>

"Hi I reserve da castle kit yesterday and was expecting a call with the price?"

"Yes we've got it ready, but I'll have to go to another department to get a price for you."

"Ah we have to come now anyway, I guess I'll find out when we arrive."

<2 hrs pass>

Arrive at shop, reservation still being put together, still no indication of a price.

There is one room, no other "department" conceivable, just three staff on one shop floor.

<15 mins pass>

"That's £55 sir."

...

Sounds about right. Wotsup.

I started out thinking I'd help my son, finished realising I was paying £55 for homework(!)

I get the feeling they were avoiding telling me the price for that very reason.


Incidentally a small handful of small stones is £4 if anyone wants to pop out and pick some off the floor for infinite percent profit.

Margin, not profit as they have overhaeds to pay for.

I must admit I find it odd how hard it is to spend money sometimes, for real bad service try M&S in Lincoln.

Your son's homework was to buy a model castle from a shop?

 

[Crackle]

You should've done your homework before you ordered it.

You're not the same bloke who buys up all the costumes for the kids to wear on World Book Day are you?

You get it, at least

One of the girls at work has a daughter who's homework was a Mayan temple

We were very supportive with ideas on how to achieve the layers and building it

She did draw the line with the river of blood flowing down the sides from the human sacrifices

Many years ago in time, far distant from now......

We did a project on the "Stone of Destiny" installed under the Throne at Westminster, and validating the crowning of Monarchs

My mother was told very firmly at a Parents evening:

1. It was not "nicked from the Scots"
2. It was the genuine thing not a hearthstone palmed off to the English by a canny Scot who hid the original
3. All the Kings and Queens invested were in fact genuine monarchs
