I know I moan a lot about the ladies' toilets so I'll give credit where it's due...

    Our's is already big for her age(she's 5 and we had to get her age 7-8 and even 8-9 uniform this year). We were just worried that she would go from getting the piss took out of her for her height for a few years, before getting it ripped out of her for being short after.

    But like you say, the aim is to have as normal a childhood as possible...

    The idea of the hormone blocker is so that she doesn’t end up too short for her age. By blocking it now, she should grow taller later (when she stops taking it) than she would have done if you’d left her to it. She’s tall for her age now as she’s started puberty but she would have stopped growing early once it ended. By blocking it she will be able to grow again and for longer later when she is able to have her puberty at a more ‘nomal’ age.

    Not particularly, if I'm honest. "A lot of people come via charity, so clubs need to do even more charity to support them." If a business wants to do it as a nice gesture then fair play, but I disagree with the notion of it being mandatory.

    I thought the poverty issue was explained quite succinctly, never mind.

    Do you think toilet roll should be mandatory or do you just class it as a nice gesture?

    Personally I make it habit not to use public toilets, perhaps if I had reason to believe I might end up needing to use the conveniences but had an underlying apprehension there might not be toilet roll I'd carry one around with me. Still, I appreciate the gesture. I hope the club will extend this to toothpaste and antiperspirant, because the bloke sat next to me needs both.

    I don't make a habit of using fire escapes but I'm kinda glad they are mandatory just on the off chance like

    Imagine suggesting that you take responsibility for your own personal hygeine...

    If I knew I was going to be set on fire once a month I'd carry around a fire extinguisher.
