Why not give a "happy clap" instead of commenting on a completely different place. Bringing criticism about something that is unrelated doesnt seem to be a community way of thinking, neither is it helpful. Try looking and congratulating. Well done Upper Shirley High.
Don't let the Oasis happy clappies get near it, they will have it shut down within a year.
