00:00Hard to have an opinion on that really. It depends what's necessary. Uniforms are necessary,

00:08but is there any flexibility with the schools in what the kids wear to school? Does it have to be

00:15the branded uniforms? I think they're looking at relaxing the rules on that so kids can afford

00:23more cheaper kind of generic uniform clothing. So I think that's a positive thing. Well I think 40

00:31to 60 pounds for a school blazer is ridiculous and they throw it out of them within the year,

00:36so yeah and things like that. But then you can go to places like Asda and you can pick up a uniform

00:42like 20 quid, like back in the day, I don't know if it's in here, but it's those schools that insist on

00:48having the badges, why can't they just sell the badges and we can get a second hand blazer

00:53from wherever, you know, that's what I'm saying.
