Sounds perfect - she is obviously needing a purpose, to keep her busy and entertained.
We could give her tea and coffee making facilities, and a clip board.
Could she cope with being a holding area monitor? Just to wind up the queue in the waiting room?

Planning Inspectors and developers. Throw the lot in.
Our small rural market town is doubling in size with no extra facilities such as schools, doctors and so on. Our roads and bridges were built in the days of cart horses and were never meant for cars, let alone the numbers currently using them. Our local planning officers used to listen to the people and turned down the ridiculous large development applications, but these go to appeal and the Inspectors overturn the decisions. This had led to the local planners now allowing the developments because they can no longer afford to go to the inevitable appeals.
Am liking this idea. She is lovely really just in small doses. Too much sympathy and fawning makes me feel claustrophobic especially if I'm not 100%. When I'm ill I just want to be left alone until I'm better. If I need something I'll shoutShe could have a lovely chat with those entering; just to check their well-being and ensure they'll be safe whilst incarcerated.
Sorted.
But we have to house all those teenage mums somewhere. They feel at home next to their old schoolI would also chuck in the developers building 'luxury detached homes' on my old school sport field. Ok so I hated having to play hockey in my knickers in the winter when the ground was frozen, but in the summer that field was great for sunbathing and skipping lessons.
I have one of these MILs too. Sadly she now has dementia. Not so bad that she would not do a good job at making people take the leap in from holding area though. They could be a good double act,Am liking this idea. She is lovely really just in small doses. Too much sympathy and fawning makes me feel claustrophobic especially if I'm not 100%.

She could probably talk them into room101. No pushing would then be required. The perfect holding room monitor, you are all correct

Oops, maybe that was a little judgemental and generalised
It's the last bit that gets me. My son has 30 in his class already. A couple have behavioural problems so need extra time, a couple of them speak English as a second language so need extra help. Not enough staff time left over to give the rest enough attention. Definitely don't need to squash in more kids!Oh, and the mayor, who could do with some exercise who is pushing through the development of 'brownfield' sites by scrapping schools and building on the grounds. Mr Mayor, the playing field was not brown it was green! And where are all of the children now in the overcrowded primary schools going to get their secondary education? In an out of town warehouse?

Heehee. Well they won't be getting these houses. They cost upwards of £400k each. I would have been happier if it had been social housing.
Did I just detect an unnecessary 'sorry' lurking there? That is the sort of thing that sends you in, remember.
Yep.So, education planners going in too?
I'm suspecting there may be a story behind this........Wobbling cafe tables.
All over the world. Every day, millions upon zillions of people are inconvenienced, coffees spilled, teacups rattled, and scratty paper napkins wedged.
Why, O why, do table manufacturers not make tables with 4 legs the same length?
And floor installers not install level floors?
And cafe owners not put diddly little blocks under one table leg?
Or tighten the screws?
Or buy a new bl**dy table?
Why???
*Crazed hair clutching and wild eyed eyebrow waggling *
Yes. I would add those silly perching stools that you need a step ladder to get onto. Then you have to sit there with legs swinging and spilling your drink. Don't know which is most annoying, the ones in cafes or the ones in bars. Hot coffee is painful spilled down front, but I cry more if I spill my beer.Wobbling cafe tables.

I'm all for the mother-in-laws going in ... wondering if there'd be a special section available for ex-wives at all? Especially ones who expect their ex husbands to continue paying child support after said older child has turned 18 and left school.... you wish!
Oh no! I am a MIL, too.
Of course, I never, ever, interfere, or give an opinion, or tutt loudly, or call round unexpectedly, or gatecrash social occasions, or ever, ever, think my DIL is not the very best woman in the world for my wonderfully, brilliant, talented, sweet natured, perfect son.
