Just been reading a few articles about end-of-year collection for teachers

one said the average has reached £500!!

WHAT??

I got a botu 2 small present in 15 years in schools
OK most was in secondary school
but it never made sense that a Primary teacher needs a collection
but once they get to be teenagers - with all that entails - then the teachers will be just fine


and when I was in a Primary - the teachers did get a few presents - but the school catchment area was "not well off" so it would be a few small boxes of chocolates and maybe a bottle of wine if they were lucky

I got a pair of socks once but that was for doing a lot of things that her Dad had worked like mad for before he died
and I got it all working and made it what he had dreamed of


seems like madness to me

As a class we bought our woodwork teacher twenty 2lb bags of Quality Street. And with the help of the deputy head*, we managed to get them into just about anywhere he'd be likely to go.

*He walked into the class offering him a toffee finger from one of the bags.

Good evening from a beautiful sunny evening in Lancashire. I must say I'm enjoying this game.

Well, 65 miles of gravel today. Lots of shade, breeze by the canal, good chat and great coffee. At one point I rode through a patch of cow parsley and a huge flotilla of butterflies took to the air in front of me. A beautiful sight.

On the downside I got stung. By a wasp, perhaps a hornet........on the arse. Geez it hurts.....still

Love club football, no interest in international footy.

Night night folks . 🙂

Morning. I wasn’t sleeping so just got up. It’s a fresh 10 degrees and slightly misty at the moment but to warm up later.

You have to feel sympathy for the poor wasp.

You do. It go stuck on the lycra, my mate dealt with it in quite definite terms. I've emailed Lusso to complain their bibs are not wasp sting proof!
