My son, aged around 7, in tears before the school's Halloween disco and refusing to wear the mask that went with his devil costume even though he desperately wanted to.

When I asked why he wouldn't put it on, he said: "Because the headteacher says it's 50p a head to get in. I've only got a pound so if I wear my mask I'll have no money left for a hotdog."

[Jacqui Harvey]

When we moved to our place in the countryside in Scotland.  I got some hens and then ducks. The dinner lady in the school said she would sell me a drake.  I went to her house to collect it.   She handed it to me and I asked how much and she said £2.00...Do you think that is muckle??   I said yes.  Then she asked me again did I think it was muckle and I again said yes. I wondered why she did not look happy.    I paid her and left.  It was only after I spoke to my neighbour I found out when the lady was asking me was that muckle, she was asking me did I think that was that too much..   I thought muckle had meant fine.    I had to go to the school the next day and explain.
