A little different take on kids being kids. I copied this from a post that I made to a British site that I belong to.
I'll be the first to admit that no kid needs a $1,000 coat. But do the schools over there really get to decide? Will they soon force kids to eat lower quality meals because the poorer kids can't afford the good stuff? Where does this end?

High school bans Canada Goose and Moncler jackets to protect poorer children
the headteacher of Woodchurch High School in Birkenhead explained that the ban was coming in after Christmas as the school was "mindful that some young people put pressure on their parents to purchase expensive items of clothing."
I guess in London parents don't know how to say NO you can't have a 1200 dollar coat, so shut the fuck up about it before I slap you silly.
Birkenhead is not in London, silly. That's Merseyside. And before you say there's no difference it's about the same as saying there's not much difference between New York and Birmingham Alabama.
OK , I'm not sure I would have said there's no difference. But since you brought it up why are you comparing a state to a city
Last I looked, New York is a city and state. Birmingham is a city in a state. I didn't want to confuse Birmingham with Birmingham England since we were talking about England.
Well I only was kidding and I knew what you meant.
