This morning I noticed that one of the local primary schools has acquired a new structure – a well-made solid wooden roof extending over part of the schoolyard, open to the elements but providing protection from the rain. Exactly the sort sprouted by pubs, like the one we passed a few moments later, to give protection to smokers. Not a big enough space for children to run around in
Why would a school want such a thing? It cannot possibly be for teachers who smoke – can it?
Had parents-who-smoke stopped going to PTA meetings in the same way they are boycotting pubs? And have not such parents been drummed out of the PTA anyway?
Or have all sorts of new uses been found for such structures?
