From the file marked, “You couldn’t make it up,” the Guardian has this story about two Teacher’s Unions – The NUT and the other one, whatever they’re called, threatening to strike if the other union gets their way.
The NUTters… actually, you know what, let’s not call them nutters. Talk about leaving myself open for merciless abuse.
You see – and this is a complete diversion by they way – my Mother got into geneology and began tracing back the family tree on her side of the family and was mortified to discover we were decended from one Alice Nutter – not the one from Chumbawamba, but the one that got burnt as a witch. A point my step-dad never let her forget. “Whole family of nutters and witches” he remarked. Thanks, Dad.
But anyway, the NUT is threatening to strike if SATs aren’t abolished, and the other one is threatening to strike if they are abolished.
Good luck sorting that one out.
