The SNP to cut off the bottom half of classroom doors!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could have one of these ‘you couldn’t make it up’ hilarious stories on here every day?

The more I think about this school door proposal the more preposterous and unbelievable it is, and outrage and anger from some quarters over our obvious amusement just adds to the enjoyment!

I'm loving this thread.

Thank goodness I am retired, I have been a martyr to chillblains for most of my life and hated the cold classrooms in my school.
Callistemon, save a pair of socks for me.

Alegrias ?

Alegrias, I'm not laughing at you, but at your ripostes
Douglas Ross never learns. Every week at First Minister's question time, he sets himself up to be slapped down by NS. However, I have to admire his tenacity.

I thought that initially, LEAs had to look at different ways of ventilating rooms and surely sawing the bottoms off doors, would be a last resort?
For that reason, I feel your post is slightly misleading, Urms, but it did get people posting. Success!

Urmstongran

Honestly, who would have thought she could have made Boris Johnson look good?

Throughout the pandemic we’ve listened to Sturgeon who has given clear concise instructions/advice while Boris Johnson has been thinking up stupid soundbites like squashing sombreros, promising the pandemic will be over in (fill in your own number) x number of weeks etc etc. And yet suddenly someone finds a left field idea that Sturgeon has had which proves that Johnson isn’t the most useless lying imbecile of a PM this country has ever had at the worst possible time. I’m glad that so many of you are amused by all this but, quite frankly I’m with Algerias on this one…..

I think Urmstongran scored a blinder here, because the whole news item transcended politics. It wasn't a case of Nicola Sturgeon outshining Boris, or even of the SNP getting one over the Tories, it was just a totally inpractical crackpot plan which gave us all a laugh.

Thanks Josieann - I’m just surprised how many posts this thread generated!
?
Thanks everyone.

How many doors are involved in total?
How many carpenters will they need to do this?
Just how long is this going to take?
Will the pandemic be over before they're even halfway through?

Or is it case of cutting the stable doors after the horse has bolted?
(Sorry ?)

This thread has given me the best laugh I've had all week! Thanks everyone

Plus Callistemon you cannot undertake maintenance work on such a scale in schools during term time. That only gives a small window of time, the summer holidays being the ideal opportunity.
When of course as you say, the virus might be well on its way to leaving the building!

Maybee if we're allowed to laugh at Johnson et al then why not Sturgeon?
She isn't a saint and she isn't perfect but those who say anything against her, including Scottish Grans, are jumped on and squashed like flies.

If we didn't sometimes laugh at some of the more stupid things our politicians suggest, then we'd cry all day.

Cutting the stable door oh that’s good ?

Apart from the logistics of mass door choppings in Scotland's schools, has anyone considered the fire safety risks of this half baked, tin pot idea?

^Cutting the stable door^ oh that’s good ?

Maybe the kids would prefer saloon type bars, chop off top and bottom!

Only sensible Gransnetters!

But it was the first thing DH said, well the second thing because first he said "You've just made that up ?"

Somebody upthread said the same thing!

oops, I meant saloon type doors not bars!
Heaven forbid the mention of alcohol! Or did I mean prison bars to keep the monkeys in?

Doors with bars would let plenty of air in.

It still doesn’t ‘make Johnson look good’ though. Nothing can do that, not now that people can see him for what he really is. Although perhaps this tread is an attempt to divert peoples attention from that fact.

Nothing whatsoever to do with Johnson, Maybee, there are plenty of threads about him.

Perhaps your posts are diversionary tactics?

This thread is not an attempt to divert, MayBee70

As Callistemon21 says, your post is an attempt to divert. Futile though.

Thinking about Boris (and doors), he could come up with an equally stupid plan to chop off the bottom of Number 10 door so that Dylin and Larry could pop in and out when they chose to.

It wasn’t a thread about Johnson until the instigator of the thread introduced him into the conversation. I just question the reasoning for doing so. It wasn’t necessary.
