Absolutely not. He sent a naughty text once. The man should be in prison.

I had to go to evening classes in Selhurst to learn to touch type when I was in my thirties.

Even now I don't think many schools teach it.

Still, time better spent on learning Roman numerals because you come across them so often.

Or maybe we could learn binary instead, at least that does have a current use.

I suppose you think that teaching Latin is pointless, too.

Didn’t I tell you? I wanted to be a Judge but I didn’t have the Latin.

What a waste of Saturdays. Just a bit more effort and I certainly would have been one

For some people this simple truth somehow never hits home

As someone that left teaching a very long time ago, when Ashburton was still a school, I don't feel sufficiently informed to make that determination. I do believe the TES is in a reasonable place to give an informed view, however. I suggest you direct your question to that august publication.

If we got our territorial waters back & not the piddling 12 miles the EU has permitted us under a licence we have to reapply for every 10 years our fishing industry would be worth 2 billion a year.

Laugh at it all you want but what the EU has done to our fishing fleets is a disgrace.

The mountains are calling & I must go.
