I should be due one any minute then ...

Was this the birth of the phrase, 'Peaks and Troughs', by any chance ?

not complaining, just pointing it out...

I seem to remember going on quite a few trips, mostly with choir and band though. However, as Matthew, points out, the one not to be missed was Munich and Nuremburg. I think people chose German A-level based purely on that trip. It clashed with a Physics trip to Switzerland but, given the choice between the two, Bavaria won hands down!

I worked over in Germany for a year during uni and went along to meet the Grecians for the dinner on the last night. Fantastic evening. A great loss not to have FRP and Mr Jeffers running the show these days.

"Jeffers Tours" can't be beaten!

Having said that, FRP did go on this year's trip!

i think that trip was the reason for doing A level German!

I was told that this year`s trip was to be more "cultural/educational" - but, from what I hear, I suspect it wasn`t!!
(well, beer and food are indeed a very important part of Bavarian culture!)

(FRP just met up with the group on the final evening, I believe)

its always sold as being cultural and educational! I persoanlly think being chatted up in German is very educational!

and as Mrs C pointed out the sausage and the beer was culture!

also i must admit the trip did help me sway between an Alvel in German or Economics! mmmmm!

It's always cultural!

Nope i will be happy teaching little children all diferent things!

like diferent ways of spelling different words like diferent.

So what is wrong with that? They have decided that they will allow textspeak in GCSE answers now but might deduct 33% becuase 66.67 % is given for the knowledge and 33.33% for how the question is answered. If they can do that the umpteen diferent / difrnt / defrent / different spellings of dufferint should attract high marks.

I supopose you want to be stopped. Try looking the other way

It only took me a couple of weeks to stop members of the Dorking Girls Football team sending me emails in their text-speak.

I'd just reply with a load of gobbly-de-gook so that they'd have to write back to me in plain English asking me what I'd said.
