Well its another weeks holiday again for the teechers as the half term is here, When I was a lad we called it 'Prato pickin' wiks' because, in the 1950's there was a shortage of manpower due to the second world war and help was needed on the farms to gather in the potato crop so, they employed us skool kids to do it and, I always did, I got 12/6d for the week and my mum took it off me because she needed it more than me, fair play, I thought but, Would the yoof do that today ?? not on your nellie, but, they still want the weeks holiday and so do the teechers,,,
