The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.

90% of your schools start when somebody deliberatly starts them.

This will typically be a 15 year old male.

He didn't mean to burn the school down, just to cover up evidence of a theft, or was just messing about.

The security was poor, there was no sprinkler system and the was minimal detection, so the fire was only notced when smoke was issuing.

The school was built in the 1960s when schools were exempt from the normal rules and spread rapidly through the open ceiling voids.

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.

she should have stuck to writing poetry, can you imagine taking a long train journey to glasgow, and she says the journey is the best bit! actually being there and getting on with whatever it is you want to get on with would be much better

Dear Students,

I work for the company that insures many of the schools in the UK.

Email me (click on "email" below this message) and I can share some facts and figures.  Basically as I alluded to above, most are deliberatly set.  Many result in a catasrophic fire.  

Chris.

im sure there are some students out there that do not spend ALL their time partying and spending daddy's money! (i will leave it to your imagination which group beverley beverley falls into!)

i think the students may be 'college' types, as opposed to 'uni' types. im sure there is something in their syllabus that requires this type of 'project' to be undertaken, having been inundated with similar requests 'in another life'.

These students may be researching ideas how to torch their own school/college.
