A headteacher in Havant, Hampshire, has been told she faces court action unless she repaints her nursery school - because it is too yellow, said the Daily Mail. Ethna Haines asked contractors to liven up Glenhurst school by painting it bright yellow last year and the repainted building was opened by the mayor. However, the council is now ordering the school to change the colour after complaints from neighbours.
