I've only ever had 2 female teachers. One looked like Rosa Klebb in From Russia with Love and had a similar temperament, the other was like the dwarf at the end of Don't Look Now. Thankfully neither were attracted to me.
The law is the law and must be obeyed and there is definitely a case to be made that someone in command of others like pupils should avoid entanglements.
I cannot recall ever having a female tutor but I do remember 2 teachers.
One was an aged demented English master who seemed to take sheer delight in thrashing young boys (me) with 6 of the best for the slightest infraction.
He used to take a flying run as he crashed a hideous cane down on young lads hands. I have a slightly disjointed knuckle from when I twisted my hand slightly. Years later telling my Mother she said she would have gone and throttled him if she'd only known.
The other memorable one was an
young good looking ex- Olympian gymnast who was ever so friendly and jovial often giving us lads rather camp names in class.
He seemed to love working the parallel bars etc and having us all watch him. He was so friendly he even joined in communal showers !  |

the pub trade is pretty much on it's knees.
Except for the highly successful companies, mentioned here, who can adapt their business models quickly when necessary.
Drinking habits have changed dramatically in recent years, and it's those who react fast that'll survive.
Opening at noon is daft. Loungers PLC (the newish kid on the block, from Bristol) have bucked this trend and will soon be leading, from 14th now!

If I could turn back time Jo, I would jump going to Uni or college, where I hated school so much I didn't want more education and being told what to do. Then again it was The Troubles that my family arranged for me to leave the country.
I would have joined looking in hindsight and enjoy the last few years of my youth instead of working and trying to make something of myself via business ventures most of them flops but I am ok now, but it's water tight. Hopefully I can retire in a few more years.
My last steady job was pub landlord and working for Majestic Wines, but what Majestic Wines do I do on a much smaller scale. The stress of being a pub landlord can send you to an early grave. I have known landlords that didn't make past 50. It's easier to be in charge of a Freehouse, the pub trade is pretty much on it's knees. |

Though I liked most of my teachers (I wouldn't have said most of them had been school bullies), I couldn't wait to leave school too, as I didn't like the later years of secondary school much. But I found university completely different and really enjoyed it. We were lucky back then, though, getting grants, not loans, and not getting into debt. There's always the Open University, GM. |
