Truancy crack-down: great idea, what could go wrong...

Police and Council officials launching a crack-down on truancy could hardly believe their luck when they and discovered 30 kids with their parents and grandparents shopping in a local Tesco store...

Only after swooping to gather the vital evidence and interviewing all of them did the penny finally drop...hundreds of local school children had been given an official day off for teacher-training.

Oops.

The gaffe happened in Essex and was reported in the East Anglian Daily Times.

I’m sure it could never happen here in Lincolnshire...
