The School Group.

School groups are large, loud and frightening. Usually accompanied by one or two harried-looking teachers, school groups are amorphous organisms that seem to fill every space they enter. Whether leaning moodily against the wall of the Criterion waiting to see the matinee of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) by the Reduced Shakespeare Company, eating everything in sight in the Sainsbury's Local in Covent Garden or rushing excitedly through the Natural History Museum, school groups are best avoided as invariably the squishy brown stuff will hit the fan when any misbehaviour is uncovered. The idle bystander would be wise to avoid exposure to the glares, threats and gripes of the teaching staff during a nice day out.
