And agree that we probably didn't appreciate the talent of our teachers at the time - probably just assumed all teachers were like that and, if so, how wrong we were. Yes, will raise a glass to Board-Rubber, who taught us more about France and the French than the Jean-Paul, Marie-France et Claudette of the textbook ever could.<br /><br />I have moved on so little that I'm wearing a Casio watch as I type this. Don't think I've used an hourly chime since the 80s though.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267504526414194713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815567696079354237.post-67302966777381408692021-07-07T14:50:14.456+01:002021-07-07T14:50:14.456+01:00I too feel blessed that the school days you refer ...I too feel blessed that the school days you refer to were some of the best days of my(our) lives.
