We paid that 15 years ago when ours started nursery so given inflation we probably paid more (relatively).
Re late fees, if parents are late it's not just one person that has to stay behind, for child protection reasons they have to double up or more if more than one set of parents are running late.
Whilst most parents will be rarely late (if at all), if they are out would be genuine. However, some parents just take the pi$$.
My (now 15yo) daughter works at an after-school club every other Friday afternoon and my sister manages a club in the South of Edinburgh, some parents treat the facility as if they were a babysitter on £2.50 an hour, turning up late without the decency of phoning ahead and with no regard to the staff possibly needing to be elsewhere.

Whilst the late charge is not welcomed by many (and in fact waived by some clubs if it's a first offence), there has to be something in place to focus the attention of tardy parents.

Some do take the piss.

my mother is a child minder, and doesn’t do late fees or anything, but has had to mark a few cards, including one parent who would get the train out of Edinburgh, arrive at the station around 6:15, and instead of coming to collect their son (my mum finishes at 6 but didn’t mind keeping the laddie for a little bit longer to accommodate the train times), the parent would go to the supermarket, get in her shopping, sometimes drop the shopping at home then come for their son, often not turning up until close to 7pm.

Unoriginal ‘banter’. I do a lot of my running in and around Niddrie and Craigmillar so a bit heckling from the local young team is inevitable. A bit originality wouldn’t go amiss though. Is ‘run Forest run’ really the best they can come up with? Referencing a film that was released about 2 years before most of them were born is a bit disappointing.

I’m running the streets in leggings and a snood; I’m absolutely ripe for a slagging and they are letting the opportunity pass. Wouldn’t have happened in my day.

I have the same issue.

In my work i'm out taking photos of ***** properties in a very poor condition pretty regularly, a lot and a lot of the time there's workies kicking about. Every single time without fail, one of them makes a joke trying to show off to their pals about getting in the photo and how his good looks will help sell it.

In fairness, they don't know i get it every time but it does my head in. Wasn't funny the first time, every week for over a year it definitely isn't funny now.

While i'm on the subject of workies as well, when they play comedian in Greggs and try to have great 'banter' with the folk working there. C'mon, get your sausage roll and get out, no need for the bantz.

Leggings and a snood! You’d not have survived the Cowan changing room with that attire S! 😀

The upsurge in private cars with drivers who think they can do whatever they f***ing want as long as they give a wee wave to say sorry, just had a barny with one said driver, f***ing earplugs in and smiling away as if nothing was wrong, the passenger didn't look to happy with the driver just pulling out on me, sometimes I wonder if these guys even have driving licences.

Drivers are frightful generally.

I am one myself.

I'm more interested in what they had for their tea than what they themselves look like at the time they're having it. Even a shot of the empty plate that's left after they've eaten it would be preferable to the ubiquitous look at me look at me look at me stuff.

If I'm thinking of going to a particular restaurant I do search for it on Instagram and have a nosy at people's photos of their meals, it's really helpful!

I don't post them on SM, but I take the odd photo and whatsapp if I think it's something my girlfriend would like/I've put effort into making it.

It's something I'd try to do very discreetly if in public though. Nothing worse than an accidental flash (from the camera!) in a restaurant to draw attention to yourself.

Buses, particularly single deckers, that swing in to bus stops narrowly missing folk with the big rear view mirror.
I'm amazed no one has ever been beaned by such a manoeuvre. They miss by inches. I suppose all the drivers are just too professional.
Aye that'll be it.

Also the one person that ends up next to you and they are constantly up and down to the pisher..... Or the really drunk one that tries to engage in conversation.. "how bout them tories eh, pure ruining country n that but..."

On a flight to Santorini last year I was amazed at the amount of wedding parties and the people were dressed as if they were going to tie the knot on the plane. Not so much look at me as Look at us - we're in love. Sickening, projectile vomiting inducing behaviour and most of them were pished and acting accordingly. The things you see when you don't have a gun.

A "J Cut". It's a deliberate technique rather than a continuity issue but it's definitely becoming more prevalent.

I got treated to an Easyjet lead cabin steward who, in his own mind, thought he was the next Kevin Bridges but in fact treated us all to abominable "Scottish" patter. Couldn't wait to get off that plane.
