BACK TO SCHOOL
Well, the shops have been taunting children since July with their ‘Back To School’ promotions, just as the kids were relishing the thought of six weeks at home. But now the new school year is really here, and you’re probably either glad to have the little tykes out of your hair again, or annoyed at the extra traffic on the road in rush hour. Either way, it is hard to escape that feeling of a fresh new start, burned into our brains from an early age: autumn means a new academic year, new shoes, new friends – and a bit of hard work ahead.
