I'll keep them hidden until they show me the tea.
That’s such a shame, But that is a cheap investment at that price. Bit of work needed but hey don’t they all

Think outside, no box required.
Being that it has the TBI injection it is probably something to do with that, quite a common fail, a shame it has been torn apart..That’s such a shame, But that is a cheap investment at that price. Bit of work needed but hey don’t they all

I'd take a punt on it.
very rare.
WOW!
Never knew that!
So much you could open my eyes to now!
My stepson did a degree in Sports Science at Loughborough then his PGCE in Swansea, I think.
I trained at St Lukes and although famous for its PE teachers etc, they all had to have a second proper teaching subject. most seemed to be Geography or English. Although my good mate did Maths.
You mention a Teacher Training college course. Did you mean a Cert Ed? Cos at Lukes we knew a few people doing a BEd and that was certainly 4 years, with far more TPs than we did. Still, at the end of the day, the same length as a degree then a PGCE. (Unless you did languages which entailed yet another year abroad.)
I did work with a lovely lady who had a Cert Ed. Brilliant teacher. But she never did A level, and didn't want to either.
It sounds a bit like the the TT students my Granny used to house in Hull, all good catholic gurlz! But they seemed to have a bit of a social life. One of them taught me the Twist, and that was all before 1963 cos that is when I left Hull!
No social life? How did you survive?
To be honest, I do not think it is possible to compare before and after. The whole system and way of working changed making it impossible to equate one qualification with the other. The Specialist College was just that - specialist. There were just 120 of us over the three years - 40 max each year - it was a very difficult college to get into and with no guarantee that you would last to the end! I think at least three of my year failed to qualify. All were female and our college was based in the middle of nowhere at Wentworth Woodhouse, Yorkshire. Look the name up. It was the Stately Home of the Fitzwilliam family, although the Earl did not live in his half of the house except for having shooting parties in the Park - he lived at Milton (?) Peterborough. The House was let on a peppercorn rent to the West Yorks LEA for a PE college; clever move as it was suffering greatly from mining substance following work done for the 'war effort'.
Eventually it was abandoned and put up for sale on the open market - I've still got the Sunday Times article written about it some time in the 80's I think. To cut a long story short, it was sold for a giveaway price as it needed A LOT of work to stabilize it whilst compensation from the Gov. was fought for. It is now in private hands and is, or at least part of it, open to the public in an effort to raise funds to carry on the restoration work.
How did I survive? A good question but I was a very enthusiastic student absolutely devoted to the cause.
For me, it was an enjoyable but very hard-working time, full of treasured memories.
Thats the first aiders job. Hippo will have been too busy filling in the compensation claim formsI hope you filled out the accident book!!

New doors for the freelanderer?
Think that was a location for a recent Antiques Roadshow episode. They showed photos of students in action, bet you were in there?To be honest, I do not think it is possible to compare before and after.

I didn't see that, unfortunately.
The BBC did a full programme on the House a few years ago and a photo of me in a group (badminton) was on there. I found it strange as I have the original of that photo!

Lol you've just reminded me of the worst interviews I ever had to conduct. My employers had sacked the IT director and his team and we were short of an analyst/technician in my area. They decided that as I had taught IT 10 years ago before I got promoted from teacher to manager (Level 2 as a third subject) I could do it
My knowledge was a bit of server admin from 2 systems previously God knows who wrote the person spec but they put Microsoft Certified or equivalent, but no guidance on what was equivalent It took me a weeks research and numerous phone calls to even shortlist it.In the end I borrowed a tech from another area and got them to set up one of our systems and got the applicants to do case studies on changes and fixes with our tech watching.
It actually worked. 50% of candidates walked before the actual interview and the guy we appointed was excellent.

Good morning all
Dark and slightly damp outside but the wind has gone away.
I miss the days of being able to have a lie in whenever I wanted.

Miserable, wet, windy, what more can I say. Normal service inside though.
I hope the weather is better where you are folks and that you have a fun day - including Shimmy!!!
