00:01Just because it's always been that way doesn't make it right.
00:04I've got two children myself, and by the end of the six weeks
00:07they're ready to go back to school, they're restless,
00:09they've had enough of a break.
00:11If they want to split it up and have a longer May half-term, great,
00:14a longer October, I'm happy to it, as long as there's enough milk to sort out.
00:17Some things are just stuck for so long and we think just because
00:20they're there then we shouldn't try and change.
00:23Six weeks is a long time for kids to be not doing anything education-wise
00:27and that's just coming back from two weeks leave and all it's like
00:30when you come back to work on your first day.
00:32I think it takes a while before they get their academic brains going
00:36and then it's straight into half-term.
00:38My grandchildren, I mean, you know, it's now getting...
00:42You can't get a flight in the school holidays if you want to take them away
00:47and you've got schools hardening up on people taking their kids out of school in turn.
00:53I just think let's leave as it is and carry on like that.
