A Stockport Council spokesperson said: "School crossing patrols are required to continually observe the road and traffic conditions to ensure the safety.
"The school crossing patrol at this location has been asked to stop 'high-fiving' and to concentrate on his core duty of ensuring highway safety."
Spokesperson????

At its core its really sad for the children. Especially as mentioned if they're on the spectrum and this is part of a routine for them. And also, as a 21 year old adult, I wish people gave me more high fives in passing. Hopefully sense is seen and he can go back to giving the kids high gives soon.

While it does seem ridiculous, I’ve no doubt if I was a motorist wanting to get my destination but couldn’t because the lolly pop man was high fiving and doing the moon walk with every fucking kid crossing the road, I’m sure I’d get pretty irate, as would others I’d imagine.
Come on shoot me, I’m ready for ya!1 -

Just get on with the job. Seriously, we have a thread about this? There are four lollipop people near my house and they're all total pros. I've never seen any of them hi-fiving. And hi-fiving is an annoying Americanism anyway.

I have an irrational hatred of lollipop men & women, especially the ones that work on a zebra crossing and stop you to let adults cross, kids I get, but adults, on a zebra crossing?0
