    :D :D :D

    I had fun in an all-boys school in Liverpool, where I was a probationer. I had a class of year 9 (aka 3rd years, aka 14 yr olds) for German in one room directly before afternoon break. When there was a wet break (which happenend a lot that year, I'm sure deliberately to test me.....) we would all troup out of that classroom, an into the next-door one, and start on the French lesson......

    I can tell you, I found myself getting mixed up, so had plenty of understanding for the boys having a few problems..... I always let them have a 5 minutes break before re-starting - but although they thought it was kind of me, it was really for my own sanity! :D

    Even reading the posts after Tone,there are still spelling mistakes.I was always good at English and Spelling at school but alas 32 years of working in manufactoring where I worked with my hands and brain there was no need for much spelling work so I have found the saying true you either use it or lose it...

    Now I am gradually getting faster on the PC I am finding that I am starting to make spelling mistakes.If I remember to check what I have written then I can correct it first but sometimes I find I have to go back and edit the post and put it right.

    That's your excuse, dendro, and you sticking to your keyboard! I cannot be bothered to look for the other because it is completely immaterial to me ...

    I love all of you whether you know how to spell or not ... if we can communicate by whatever means, then I am delighted with that, bad spelling or whatever ...

    Thank you all for being there and "talking" however you do, bad grammar, bad spelling .. I think it's fantastic and send my love to you all ...

    Beijinhos!
