Surbiton High hush up schoolgirl's prosecution behind parents' back

admin: January 31, 2006 - 10:10am

The school helped the girl after she asked to keep it secret.

The private school claim the so-called Gillick Judgement and data-protection laws gave them the power to grant her confidentiality from her parents.

The girl pleaded guilty to theft after being caught travelling with a photocopied travel pass, but her parents were unaware of the conviction until a bailiffs letter was received.

The mother said, "Our daughter went to court without a solicitor to plead her case and she now has a criminal record which she will have to declare for five years and for the rest of her life if she wants to work in a wide range of jobs and professions."

South West Trains or Sh*t West Trains?

Train fairs have exploded!!
Rail fares have gone up well above the rate of inflation – with some tickets going up by nearly 9%.

On SWT the rise is not 3.9% but nearly 9% because they have withdrawn the discount they previously gave because of their poor punctuality. Have timings improved to match the timetable? No - they have moved the goalposts to match what the trains are actually doing.

They have also removed 23% of the seats on the trains but somehow reduced the space in those that are left.
"Thank You for travelling with SWT" they say on arrival at Waterloo every morning - as if we had a choice!
