A mother claims her son was banned from wearing shorts to school - despite there being a heatwave - and was told he could opt for a skirt instead.

Toni Hurst from Stockport says she was baffled when Hazel Grove High School told her that Tom Foster, 13, would be put in isolation if he didn't follow the rules.

She explained that a member of staff initially told her that 'boys are free to wear skirts instead of long trousers' over the phone.

If James Bond wears kilts I’m in! NOT

Totally can relate, happens to me all the time :P

I think men look very handsome in kilts, especially in the whole dress getup.

But I’m a Scot, so...

The guy on the right looks Australian.

The guy on the left is hauling the MAG so you can tell they are not in an Aussy outfit.

What they are wearing is not much more than rags so all things considered I would guess they are RLI, 3 Commando.

I bought a utility kilt recently, and I love the thing. I’m wearing it right now- very breezy in the hot Texas summer!

I was in school in the 60’s. Boys wore shorts year round. But it gets pretty hot in Gitmo.

LOL. my first thought was “how about a kilt?” I own two.

Its still a skirt. Its a skirt. No thanky.

It's only a skirt if you have anything under it.
