"It is so unlike any other country eh? where all the children skip joyfully to school and arrive early to their lessons in wondered anticipation of that day's learning. happens all over Manchester."
One of my friends is a teacher here in Manchester (well a handful of my friends are teachers/lecturers), but one in particular is being given a hard time at the moment by nine year olds in a primary school!
A couple of weeks ago, he'd had a hard day at work, and we were talking about it on the tram on the way to the theatre when a bunch of youths (13-14 years) got on, behaving in a 'lively' manner, swinging from the ceiling height hand rails like they were monkey bars.
Until they noticed my friend, who had previously been "Sir" at their school on a supply teaching assignment. They stopped swinging and larking about, half of them promptly sat down, and the other half continued standing up, but just chatted to him a bit instead.
It was very amusing to see their change in behaviour once they'd spotted "Sir"!
Hahaha! Oryx, you're very funny!
