New PTA chair now only refers to Head by first name.

Mum repeatedly "sorry" as others only know him as Mr Poppersnock.

A woman who joined the PTA less than 3 weeks ago has been talking about her interactions with the Headteacher as if they were lifelong friends.

Suzanne Puttyhands joined the PTA after someone called Janet said she’d “be dead good at it. Just with how you are, you know.”

Ms. Puttyhands reluctantly-but-enthusiastically took on the role after nobody objected (or turned up to a vote on the matter).

COLIN

Within days of being appointed, the Mum-of-2 was referring to the Headteacher of Plithypump Primary as “Colin.”

(An investigation by this publication can confirm that is also his name. Although we had to ask Suzanne Puttyhands as all staff at the school would only call him Mr Poppersnock. Which Suzanne confirmed was also his name. But his second one. Which she hardly ever uses these days.)

A grandparent at the school called Gemima Messyfruit, who wishes to remain anonymous, said:

“Before she became the PTA chair you couldn’t get a word out of Suzanne. Now you can’t shut her up. But only about Colin. Who is Mr Poppersnock.

During her time on the committee Ms. Puttyhands has invited ideas from parents and carers about what could be done to raise funds for the school.

She told us she always takes suggestions very seriously.

I’ll always put them forward but it’s about persuading Colin. Oh, sorry. That’s Mr Poppersnock. I just call him Colin. I forget other people don’t. You know, because I’m chair of the PTA and, well, I just call him Colin. So, yeah, if Colin, sorry, Mr Poppersnock likes the idea then we’re always looking to try new things. We being me and Colin.

As yet, no ideas have been carried forward.

We contacted Colin Poppersnock for comment. He told us:

My name is Clive.
