Dangerous School Trips


"...and Horatio was eaten by a polar bear."

Sounds like something from a children's book, doesn't it?

Dangerous school trips where pupils stand only a 90% chance of returning alive may become the new black for the middle classes; parents will vie with each other to get their kids eaten by the fiercest carnivores.

"Ptolemy was eaten by a lion in Africa!"

"Well, Ignatius was devoured by a wolf in the Caucasus!"

It certainly beats the usual litigious brigade suing the school because their kid slipped on a banana skin or got a mosquito bite on the school outing.

The Met need to get some polar bears, save an endangered species and effective crowd control win-win!

Perhaps you could start a new holiday agency where you could send rich kids of to exciting and dangerous places so mummy and daddy have something new to brag about when little darling get killed.
