What kind of a parent does not have enough time to wait for his daughters admission for a few minutes, but has the time to type out such a long and pathetic complaint on an online forum.
Most of the sob stories posted are by disgruntled parents whose children did not make it to cottons. a case of sour grapes. Chopper, one thing is evident you were not a cottonian, and second your one of these parents who must have run around trying to get recommendations for your daughter.
For the record Mrs Franklyns husband is a corporate giant with a leading news paper, so the press will not scare her.
