Back in time via the wardrobe, but without the lion and the witch

Carls Fair
Oct 7-8, 10:00-17:00; Stødpudelager, Pasteurvej 28, Cph Valby; 50kr, under-15s: free adm

Rikke and Jean invite you to find the costume of your past life at this vintage clothing market.

The historic Stødpudelager building at Carlsberg is the setting – who knows, maybe you’ll find attire suitable for its grand opening in 1847?

Sustainability is the theme this year, but from a community angle, and the fair offers far more than clothes. Homeware, furniture and second-hand furnishing and fittings will all feature heavily, along with experts offering advice on recycling and design.

So take your home back in time to match your dress!

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
