What teachers have to put up with.

Last week was hectic. Down to London to perform at the Millennium Hotel Grosvenor Square, followed by more shows nearer to home.

Saw James Taylor at LG Arena on Saturday night. I have wanted to see him for a while and it was well worth it. Great voice and some memorable songs that I still can’t get out of my head.

I worked at a school last week to entertain some 14 year olds. It was a good show but it as come to my attention how disrespectful this age group of children can be to the teachers. They talk over the teachers and also ignore them when they ask them to do something. When I was in London there were a group of teenage school children that turned their back on the teachers when they were trying to correct them. What a disgrace. The trouble is the teachers cannot touch them these days. In my day we used to have a clout around the head or the cane. Bring it back that’s what I say knock some discipline into them. Sorry to rant on but I could not believe what I saw.

Another busy weekend in store starting with Close Up Magic at a wedding on Friday.
