Hundreds of pounds needing to be spent

Hundreds of pounds will need to be spent to remedy the actions of pupils at an Aberdeenshire school in a prank that saw the whole year's worth of pupils sent home early.

The sixth-year pupils - on their last day of school - ever - covered the floor of their common room with turf, and by doing so incurred the wrath of the staff at the school who 'punished' the guilty and also the innocent by sending them all home.

It was reported that some of the pupils had been drinking. Turfing while under the influence is not a specific offence under British law, but you never know, it soon could be.
