Parents found there were too many wandering round under their feet so school is the best (unpaid) baby sitting service available at such times!

No, why? And I fail to see why someone else has pulled me up on grammar? I know it was early this morning when I typed that reply but I thought the meaning was clear...........:unsure:

See rep comment: "Grammar!" .....note to all - this is NOT moaning about rep just not understanding the comment that goes alongside! I thought my grammar was perfectly acceptable...........and the meaning was that I thought there were more children in at Crays Hill since the eviction of Dale Farm because the parents were fed up with them under their feet! Was it too subtle a suggestion?

I feel sorry for you sometimes on here OBL. You seem to make a point, then get pounced on, very unfairly in most cases.

I think you're missing a 'that' and a comma, hence why I found it a tad confusing!

Ah!But these things are normally implied in informal speech which is what e-mail writing(on message boards at least) generally aspires to.
 
:hilarious: I love the way that my grammar is being discussed here, when there are loads of posters who don't seem to be able to master the basics of spelling and grammar!!!
