You have fifty brain cells? Your comment is making that look unlikely.
Name them.
In whatever school the good teacher comes from the law of averages says that the rest will be crap.
Neither does the fact that a teacher is a relative make them or any other teacher good at their job.

Aren't we discussing a teacher who retired some time ago?
You've moved on to making up new 'laws' now?
Oh dear how sad never mind.
Also, given that there is a tax on fuel, it costs nothing to increase it. Whereas adding a whole new tax is expensive.
They should abolish VED too, and add the extra charge to fuel duty. (There used to be an argument that VED ensured that there was an MOT and an insurance certificate once a year. Now they have got both of those computerised, VED is no longer necessary.)

Are there - would you mind giving an example?
There used to be a Revenue Deficit Grant, but that was long ago IIRC.

My wife has encountered similar problems. She is a Community Psychiatric Nurse and has had a few patients who are very sensitive to medication - any change sends them off and they soon end up being sectioned. On a number of occassions she has had to source medications urgently as the local pharmacy has decided to stop stocking them or has become unable to get them and none of the others in the area have it either.

I'm not sure about that. At one specialist company I worked for, I reported to a Director. He had no technical qualifications and no technical experience in the business. He was the best "manager" I have ever had!
Agreed.

My sister, an aunt, an uncle and a cousin are all teachers (well the uncle was, he has recently retired and just does supply now). My sister does do some preparation outside school hours, but has far, far more "leisure" time than myself and most of my friends. My aunt has been seen to mark work, but again has plenty of free time. The cousin I don't know about yet as she has only just started in teaching. The Uncle was a head of department as well as doing his teaching duties - he has never been seen to do any work outside school, never stayed late (except for parents evenings and the like) and frequently gone away for four or five weeks at a time (more than most people can manage in a year!)
