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

(I presume that's Card pronounced Chard!)

No, it's Chard pronounced Chard

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!

You can say that again

Because I live in Card...

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.

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.

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

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

Sometimes life is tough.

I don't follow your logic.

QED™.

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.

Cool story bro....

Wish I could have a few days there at the tax payer's expense.

I've never been to Celtic Manor before

[northernladuk]

No, all the teaching staff went at the behest of the head.

Ostensibly, it was some kind of training / development day.

They are incredibly over worked and under payed, given that they are the people responsible for shaping the future of our next generation of business men and women.

If this is the case, then they only need to teach psychopathy and lying.

Sounds like she's just waiting until the Daily Mail get's hold of her and exposes her carry on's to the angst of her peers and the general public to me. Sounds like she's not really doing her job very well and coasting/taking the piss.
