@DJRussyB Hey Russ, just catching up on this.
Really sorry to hear of this, especially after such long service. We've had a bit of a change down here too.
If you ever fancy coming down to Roots Hall and popping into say hello then just drop me a message mate.

@LukeBruce_@Doctor_Vodka@SUFCRootsHall That was a good goal, the goal he rolled in from the corner flag against Hartlepool was pretty unique as a goal too.
@mmaermec @CustardSplatPod In fact, I remember KS playing his first game on the old astro turf on a Friday night over warners bridge and as a 6 year old smashed in a long range volley!
@mmaermec @CustardSplatPod Temi's done well for himself too @mmaermec
I was very fortunate to coach some of these guys when they first came to the club. Great kids.
@LadyDetectives1 Im pretty sure it's your daughters school that have chosen to enforce this. It has nothing to do with the government.
Have you spoken to your school about the circumstances?
It is them you should be directing your frustration at.
@BladeoftheS Rubbish. I am a colleague and upped my hours during wifes maternity period to 30 hours.
I have since tried reducing as I start another job but 16 hours is the minimum available.
Where does claim come from? I know no one in my Superstore that works those hours!
@writerChris@BenWingrovee@KirstieMAllsopp Not judging - just stating if its a reason then not great imo.
I suggested already, if times & circumstances mean for it then fair enough but as a norm I dont feel its to the child's advantage. Talking & sharing stories is bonding time for us.
Every family is different.
@BenWingrovee@writerChris@KirstieMAllsopp What I would say is, if it's a one off and circumstances have led to the touch screen coming out for a reason then fair enough, although should be a last resort if being used for a coping mechanism. If it's the norm though because it's easy parenting then imo that's not great.
@BenWingrovee@writerChris@KirstieMAllsopp My 4 year old does have a touch screen. She can use it mostly when she wants too although not during food times and not before bed. However, she probably only spends an hour or 2 each week on it. She loves drawing & arts n crafts, she makes her own games up as very imaginative.
@BenWingrovee@writerChris@KirstieMAllsopp 'Those that dont have kids in the modern day dont understand'?
We've a 4 year & 8 mth old. Screen time at meal times is a no. We chuckle with them, talk about things we can see & what we have done. We cherish every moment of interaction.
'modern society' is a bonkers statement.
@LarchwoodPS It was brilliant to pop in and see all of the children (and staff).
Larchwood will always hold a place in my heart and it was special saying good bye to the year 6 pupils too as they move on.
Have a great summer everyone!
Mr Duncan.
@shrimp_sammy@SUFC_History@SUFCRootsHall It certainly is 'the father of Sammy the Shrimp' as he was billed in the mascot grand national maybe 1999 or 2000.
I'll have to see if I can dig some of the memobrillia out!
