I probably could have made a case and got one, but at least this way it is my private property and I can keep it in my personal drawer. It cannot be borrowed and not returned, like 90% of the other whistles in school. I've also bought a different lanyard (Angry Birds), just to make it 100% clear.

I swear there must be a blackmarket trade in whistles in Bierton. Thy simply disappear (teachers have them for PE as well as lining up morning and lunchtime, dinner ladies for calling classes into different lunch sitting or getting the attention of children at a distance - we have a large school field). And there are never any when they need them!

Mrs M's bell has gone missing this month. She uses it to signal Tidy Up Time when the children are in our outside area. We're all baffled by its disappearance.

No, I'm not buying my own to replace it.
