Bribery

From the Guardian Website:

...we invite the views of chirpy good grub for kids champ Jamie Oliver on the news that Archbishop Thurston school in Hull has boosted attendance rates for its latest series of Sats from 82% to a majestic 99% by the simple but undeniably effective expedient of offering 13- and 14-year-olds free bacon or sausage butties for breakfast. Grand.


How come I was never bribed to go to school with bacons buns? Hmm? This is positively unfair and I'm very upset about it, dammit. I shall be writing to my MP.

Er... I suspect that the response will be along th lines of 'What do you care? you're 30.'; but there's a principle at stake here. Something about human rights or civil rights of bacon bun rights or something.

Pff.
