I tend to the former. The photo is either an airport concourse or a maximum security prison. Can't be a school surely? Schools have playing fields. We had four or five rugby pitches, tennis courts, a cricket square, a metalwork shop, and the girls next door where my sister went had field hockey and rounders and I don't know what else. And it was all FREE including buses to take us there and back every day. We had a square meal every day comprising meat potato and two veg and a pudding. We paid a nominal sum for that. It seems to me these days from what you say that education these days is a money making racket. Vienna University is also FREE. Maybe that'll change when Mr Soros opens his international socialism educational establishment just up the road (the one that was banned in Hungary). I think it's next year. <br />Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-22970495614606553572019-06-16T09:03:28.068+01:002019-06-16T09:03:28.068+01:00Thin gruel for him; foie gras for us.
