My pet hate again!

I had returned to school after a period of absence recovering from surgery. Back in school for no more than half an hour, I had to speak to a young man about the laissez-faire approach to school uniform that he seemed to have adopted in my absence.     During the process of rectifying his appearance I requested that he introduced his tie to his neck, his trousers to his waist-line and his shirt tails to his trousers. Although somewhat reluctant, the young man obliged and then both cheerily and sincerely said “Yes Sir, will do – and welcome back.”  It was as if I’d never been away!
