Maybe it's just is my simplistic, child-like and unsophisticated way of viewing the world, but I think I see a pattern here...

So how come I've heard of Howard of Effingham then? I only moved here to take up a job with the police...

Dr Challoners Grammar School, Amersham?!

You're having a laugh, aren't you?

I went there to provide a (free) extra curricular activity day for the students with an aim of encouraging them to persue a career in my field.

The Staff were useless and messed up our timetable within ten minutes because they wouldn't lower themselves to sticking to it. Some of the students were rude, aggressive and lazy (and of course totally uncontrolled by the hand-wringing staff members present).

Overall, they gave a rather bad image of themselves to us...

Oh - the weird statue/picure/optical illusion on the wall facing the playground is scary, big-brother like and utterly pointless!
