Council workers.

Michael and Patrick (names changed to protect their nationality), got jobs with the Isle of Wight council painting the white lines down the centre of roads. Their boss was impressed that they managed 4 miles (6.4km) on their first day.
They managed 3 miles (4.8km) on the second and 2 miles (3.2km) on the third day. The boss interviewed them on their fourth day to ask why they had slowed down, Michael pointed out that it was getting further and further to walk back to the paint pot.

About Me

My photo
My first 21 years were in BRISTOL, Monks Park until I was 18, 3 years at Redland Teacher Training College then off to the bright lights of London for 10 years. Living in Horfield from the early 50s my dad took me to Eastville to watch the Rovers regularly, the first team mainly but often to see the reserves as well. I joined the supporters' club in the mid 60s and was membership secretary of the junior club, eventually taking over as chairman after the famous Gordon J Bennett left. In 1969 I moved to SE London to start my teaching career.I taught at Crown Woods, Eltham and Thomas Tallis in SE London and the next 27 years at Lake Middle School on the Isle of Wight. My main subject was mathematics and I taught a lot of PE concentrating mainly on football. Whilst in London I played football for Ramsgate, Faversham Town, Carshalton Athletic and Corinthian Casuals. My wife bought a half share in STROLLERS beach cafe in 2006 and I spend a lot of time with the customers. Viewing some of the pictures on this site will give you an idea of how I spend my leisure time.
