Got your dirty mac on?
True story. Im so disreputable looking that once while I was waiting outside the school to collect Mini D #3 someone thought I looked dodgy and called the police on me! A quick flash of my warrant card put the Bobby's mind at rest.
If that wasnt bad enough, about 15 years later it happened again with Mini D #4 outside a difrerent school! Id been long retired by then but fortunately the bobby that turned up remembered me from the job.
A couple of schools that I taught at - if a smart and well groomed person turned up to pick their kid up from school
they would be the ones we would have been worried about!!!
Mind you - any "funny business" and we would just have to mention it to the kids of one of the local drug dealers and he would sort it out - we would not have done that - probably
It was one of those "everyone knows" things that the Police could never get evidence for
but at least he did make damn sure no-one dealt drugs near the school in term time so not all bad!!!
later on we had another contact - one of the Teaching Assistant's cousin who was later "done" for drug dealing so bad that it was on teh 10 o'clock News!!!
Apparently the family had 2 sides - one that drove around in porche and Bentleys and lived in big houses
and one half that just about got by with jobs like TA and the similar pay - but refused to have anycontact with the drug empire
The TA was on the poorer side
but she still went to the parties at "the big house"
Slightly weird play at times
