I got down marked with no real guidance to where I'd gone wrong...
I tbh didn't really care at the time...
I knew I'd be earmarked for the shipyards like almost everybody else in the area..
Careers bloke told me I'd a future in teaching, quite ironic...

I did avoid the shipyards^_^
Oh, just squeaked a JA1
What's wrong with manual labour, too much hard work or seen as a bottom end job?
Do you think you'd have lasted as a teacher.

And I bet they ignored you, again!

Jeez, I gardened/greenkeeped for almost 40 years..
manual labour at its best..
plus varying other stuff,
I tried lots of various types of work
before taking a temporary job in Grassology (amenity horticulture) (posh name for the council work)
before I started college in Embra..
Embra just came to me and the rest is history, ruby this year:laugh:

It's a strange thing; I can handle a six foot Russian alcoholic with a violent case history but children are way beyond my capabilities. I have a very good friend who is a kindergarten teacher, and we have a mutual respect based in the understanding that while he couldn't do my job, I could also never do his...
15+ years working with kids, small & large. Extremes of both age groups were the worst.

40 years, that long eh...
Never tried "Grassology", had a go at a fair number of jobs though. Some odder than others.

When's the book coming out.

Funnily........


I have thought of a short autobiographic look at my life to pass on to my kids
BUT the grammer, punctuatio'n , speling might be a problem etc ^_^
Mrs M says she would censor it so I'm not bothering

The possible censorship is understandable. Picture the scene, you're recounting how you were instructing someone, for the umpteenth time, on how to use a mower. The day was warm and you were falling further behind. The sky was blue and the air would soon be joining it.
