Both my sons attend/attended St Olave's Grammar School, Orpington Kent, where last week the headteacher ate a tarantula........ really!

We parents received a letter telling us about the event beforehand, part of a fund raising event, but I dismissed it as a bit of fun and wondered how he was going to carry that one off. My son truly didn't believe what he was seeing in assembly, and preferred to believe the rumour that it was really a cake designed to look like a tarantula, and was therefore completely unimpressed. Then I saw it in the Daily Telegraph... it was baked... hmm!
