Snowflakes teaching snowflakes

I work bloody hard too and currently spend five hours a day commuting with none of the benefits teachers get.

Your stupidity has nothing to do with a teacher's workload.

I don't follow your logic.

Long commutes and stopovers are part of the sacrifice I make to be part of the flexible workforce.

I don't complain about it. I suck it up. Unlike the poor little lamb in the OP who quit after 1 term because he was getting home at 6:30.

Sometimes life is tough.

How the blue blistering blazes can it take two and a half hours to travel between Yate (pronounced Yaytay) and Bristol, Temple Meads?

It's barely ten miles, and mostly motorway (M4 & M32) - I reckon you could drive it in twenty minutes, even at the height of the rush hour.

Then after parking in Nutgrove Avenue (adjoining Victoria Park), which is free all day, you could walk to anywhere in Bristol city centre within twenty minutes.

That's what I do after driving in from my lodgings in Bishopsworth.

Because I live in Card.

I have to drive up to Yeovil Pen Mill and take the cattle truck to BTM, change and take the Gloucester service up to Yate.

And it's pronounced Yah-Tay not Yaytay

Been up Dundry yet? Nice pub there right on top of the hill, the carpenters tavern .

Actually that's not strictly true teachers can take days off in term time....

Apart from weddings and funerals or some kind of emergency? Not at any school Mrs MUN has ever taught in.

Although I conceded it is sometimes possible to rearrange PPA cover but that is not a time off that is just rearranging when the work gets done.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a go.

I've been going in the Cross Hands once or twice a week, at the top of the hill heading out of Bristol towards Bishopsworth.

It's a bit grim, but they do a nice steak supper for £6!

Ah that does sound more like a bit of a hike.

(I presume that's Card pronounced Chard!)

You can say that again
