I WAS talking to my granddaughter and she told me that at Knutsford Academy girls are not allowed to wear long knee-high socks.

One wonders who it was that made this silly rule, with no idea of how teenage girls feel about short socks?

They don’t want to wear short socks as they are not fashionable – only for sports.

Instead they have to wear tights which are so hot at this time of year and can look not so good with runs in them.

There is nothing wrong with knee-high socks at all and so much easier to wear at this time of year.

Drop this stupid rule which makes no sense at all and give the girls a chance to be more comfortable please.

Oh and while I am at it, why can’t boys coming up from the primary schools wear short trousers?

This is another barmy rule which doesn’t make any sense.
