I'm no fan of these school run types but I can't imagine Boris Johnson is getting home at night and thinking "you know what, I'm going to pay for loft insulation for everyone because we can't have too many more women in Range Rovers inconvenienced for half an hour in the morning". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thought it would increase his chances of fucking them, he would definitely consider it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely make them all walk. I walked to school, my kids walk to school. Hit obesity from an early age, by making them walk, also help save some emissions from those idiots sitting for half an hour before school finishes to ensure they get the best spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I’d always default to not driving kids to school but sometimes it might be unavoidable. Maybe the kids had to go to a school outside walking distance or something like that. My wife is a teacher and parents aren’t allowed to pick up kids from school but they still do it. One thing I noticed the other day was that hardly any of the kids cycle to school. When I was a kid that was the main way we went to school, I always cycled. The benefits of having a school in relatively quiet streets as opposed to Edinburgh gridlock I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Every morning I need to come off the pavement and walk around cars parked on it who leave no room to get by because drivers seem to be under the belief if the road is too narrow to park on the pavement is now a parking space. f**k drivers. Entitled shits. Anything that inconveniences them cheers me up. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not in walking distance there is a bus service that will take your kids to school surely. Even if we say there may be an entirely small number of kids who can't get a bus or walk, there should be one or two cars turning up at schools to drop folk off but it's easily the majority. This week is an absolute dream getting to work because none of these c***s are clogging up roads. We should just start charging folk for parking permits and fine them (with a truncheon to the face) if they stay longer than 5 minutes. I reckon permits would put people off and I'd be happy to dish out truncheons to the face and fixed penalty notices on behalf of the community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could also build in an electric charging point as well if the houses have driveways. New housing isn't the issue here. The standards of insulation levels are higher here than they are down south. It's the existing housing stock thats the issues e.g Glasgow / Edinburgh / Aberdeen / Perth tenament housing, thick stone walls with no insulation and barely any in the roof. New houses will need to switch to things like air source heating in the next few years. Electric charging points are being included in new housing down south in the next couple of years as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in most circumstances there are non-car ways of getting to school but there are some people who can't get around it. The local primary school here put planters across the street leading up for drop off to discourage traffic but had to move them as the lorries that deliver school meals couldn't get past them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I drive to the wee ones to school as we don't live in the catchment and I'm fucked walking the six miles a day! It's just a bit too far for my youngest. Eldest walks to the high school unless it's lashing it down, but walks home at end day no matter the weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 The motorists are doing it wrong. They should turn their cars round and give them 3000 rpm from their exhausts, they'll soon f**k off after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 God help the parents who are disabled or have disabled kids who cant walk to school from all the self righteousness on here. Id have more sympathy for insulate britain’s methods if they targeted Kensington or Chelseas millionaire rows or the embassy’s/government departments than working class areas with folks who probably cant afford the disruption to wages these people cause. That boy who missed the job interview cant feed his kids on good intentions. Why target the powerless and vulnerable? That imo makes them no better than the government. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
