It was a joke Alex old chum.....you really must get out more and smell the coffee and touch the grass
However on a more serious point I try,don't always succeed, to keep my posts on topic and relevant but yours...how can I put his kindly...well sometimes your posts are disjointed ramblings...a prime example being this one....if children were taught more about celtic monastries then this would somehow reduce thuggish and poor behaviour in the classrooms and on our streets. It's just plain daft and non-sensical.

I've just come in from the garden, and have had my coffee.
But my point is about respecting nature, and not littering the country-side and streets. I still hold firm that DDC could endeaver to address the problem through contact in schools.
However, I do not see in children the danger that has been mentioned,
of them becoming violent if taught not to throw litter around.
There are no disjointed ramblings in what I wrote Marek on this thread, and I suppose your statement is because I am not a catholic and do not preach the pope to children!

Marek does not preach religion (labour politics yes
) to anyone that I have noticed but you have done Alexander therefore no need to be so touchy.

Thanks for your support....I shall always wear it...as the old joke goes.
Alex
I have no idea what religion you are, if any, nor do I give a toss. To the best of my knowledge I have never preached 'popery' on this forum. If you can find an example of me doing so then please quote me. Finally as a Northern lad I am up front about my politics,religion and the football team I support. My avatar with my ugly mush on it is there for all to see I do not feel the necessity to hide behind a union flag.
So put that in your monastic ukip pipe and smoke it. May your God go with you.
Love and Peace Man!

not sure how being from the north makes a difference about being up front.
people are a mix of types all over the place.

Southerners tend to be more reserved Howie. It's a well known and documentated fact.

incorrect marek the most up front person i know is our vic, born and bred in dover.
people i have worked with over the years have varied not because of their backgrounds, the old stereotypes don't apply.
i once worked with a miserable jamaican bloke that hated parties and dancing!!

Travellers believe they are more likely to be greeted with a smile and friendliness up country than they are in the capital or Home Counties.
A poll of 2,000 people by hotel chain Best Western identified Yorkshire and Humberside as having the most helpful locals.
At the same time London was singled out as the region where people felt least likely to be offered assistance.

My comment in question was that I stated respect for nature should become a theme at school, even through an occasional visit from the authorities, i.e DDC, to the class-rooms (or assembly hall).
The term "disjointed ramblings" seemed unfair to me, and I am sure that my annotation that nature has always been considered as holy to the Celts was not out of place or out of the context.
The problem of litter floating in rivers and lying around in the streets should be addressed publicly; but how the equation: that children would become violent and attack the teachers, came in to it, has not been digested, that really went over the top! Never mind!

THere was a time when an officer from the council went round and talked to the children re litter ..

I was referring to the average member of public in the street not feeling comfortable commenting on anti social behaviour. My general issue was more about the increasing demands placed on educators to be the saviours of the human race (drugs awareness, stranger danger, healthy diet, community participation) and teach the National Curriculum!
