I'm guessing it's a similar proceedure for most local authorities. It it one crazy spreadsheet, a computer program or a basement full of post it notes?

In Gloucestershire, one school throws dice at a dartboard.

Blindfolded after Tequila shots, I hear

...which are served on a tagada.

Please, ladies/gentleman, keep it real!

We all know they hold midnight ferret racing on the night of the CAF deadline.

This involves a LOT of ferrets......

Allegedly a computer programme ... but every year there is the odd moment where I really wish that a "lady of a certain age" was in charge

Thousands of rubber ducks, and big pond and a massive game of ‘hook a duck’:-)

Perhaps next year we should have all the children together and do a massive crypt-on factor.
Though in Gloucestershire it’ll probably end up more like ‘it’s a knockout’

Sorry to the original poster...I'm sure someone sane and not from Gloucestershire will be along to answer your query!
