    Gt back to my car after work last night - parked in our work car park - to find a stone an inch and a ha half long my bonnet, just beside some nice scrapes and dents in the paintwork!
    We're next to a primary school, and a colleague of mine told me that earlier he'd seen some kids in the playground hitting stones with tennis raquets!

    Seriously. I assume it was the 'after school club' thing they do, where the kids are supposed to be supervised. I can't say I think much of the supervision, and i'm about to phone the school and let them know that. After I've calmed down a bit of course. And after I've checked with our security guys and got them to check the recordings from the cameras out the back of our building.
    Absolutely ragin'!

    Thats a bugger.
    Hopefully your security guys can see the Andy Murray wanabe on the video and you can show it to the head teacher at the school. Dont know if it will be the school that has to pay for it or the childs parents but if you can prove it was the child then im sure someone (not you) will have to foot the bill.

    Arrrgghhhhh!!! That is sooooo annoying.

    And the School isn't your last stop. If you get no joy with the rector, take it up with the education department of the Council. I'm sure they'd be delighted to know one of their employees is allowing this sort of thing to go unchallenged.

    Feel for you mate. Hate it when our wee cars are damaged like this.

    Not good.

    Was out a walk with Kerr earlier on and there was a 4ish year old hitting a jug off the family car over and over again. Shook my head and when I passed the Dad was sitting on the step watching him.

    Is it any wonder they inflict such damage
