conscience is clear I beg your pardon
well apart from the odd parking ticket
I've never had any trouble with the
police an education inspector ah I see
I'm sorry how stupid of me
yes well he'll probably want to call in
on your class oh well don't worry I'll
uh deal with him you don't deal with
inspectors from the local Authority Mr
Brown you coted them and flatter them
and agree with everything they say yeah
well I'll do that as well
I expect he'll want to see your register
my register you do have a register oh
that register yes of course well you
better call it as soon as you get back
to your class right by the way while
you're here the local Authority want me
to fill in a few details about you on
this form now I've got your name yes
occasionally married sorry uh no I was
engaged once matter of fact I opposed
marriage but it uh didn't really work
out there was quite a lot of opposition
her father no her husband I didn't
realize she was married
at what do you do during the day oh well
nothing at the moment I'm afraid I'm
waiting for a suitable position and what
was your last position well I was
teaching at a secondary modern school
but I left I couldn't stand any more
beatings well I didn't think teachers
beat children anymore no they don't it
was the other way
around I think you better take this form
and fill it up yourself bring it back to
me later right and do be careful what
you say to the inspector oh of course oh
by the way the new student has arrived
you won't forget to add the name to the
you

huh always right class now settle down

to do before we do anything else is to
call the register right Ah that's quite
all right I expect you'll have a bit of
difficulty finding your way around at

change coming from one of the
underdeveloped countries to our more
advanced of life oh yes still your
people are doing remarkably well did did

saying I may get into trouble oh here
you have been committing some Grievous
MISD not at all there's an inspector
from the local education Authority
coming around yeah the bigger boss yes I
suppose you could say that but from my
experience they're usually interfering old
old
fogies you don't lag them not
particularly frankly they're quite
useless and about as outdated as their
teaching methods I mean what's the point
of learning past participles cognate
objects or subordinate clauses it's it's
far more useful to try to teach a
foreign student how to order a meal or
find accommodation you have to have some
rather UniQue Ideas I suppose I have you
know you speak English fairly
well thank you yeah and what is your
name Roger Kenyon Roger Kenyon yes ah
Miss courtley I'm just uh completing the
register and getting the details of our
new student before that inspector
chuffy no Mr Brown I sh be a moment Miss
Courtney what is your job inspector oh
oo I thought he was the new student the
new student is a female she well you
didn't tell me that oh my apologies Mr
Kenyan and I do assure you that Mr Brown
will be severely dealt with I can't
remember when I last enjoyed myself so
much I beg your pardon enjoyed yourself
you know miss courney your Mr Brown is a
remarkable man I am he is yes his
teaching methods may be somewhat
revolutionary but they appear to work I
have always encouraged my staff to be Forward
Thinking I'll pass on your comments to
the authority perhaps they revise their
textbooks now if you excuse me I must
classes oh uh keep up the good work Mr
Brown and thank you very much for the
clinker you mean clanger yes please yes
well right let's continue with our
lesson uh get out your textbooks I'm
going to give you all a few exercises
excuse Professor I can't do any
back excuse me I was looking for him ah
at last pity you didn't arrive half an
hour earlier why it might have saved me
a great deal of embarrassment with a
certain effort African gentleman oh yes
he was a school's inspector but I
mistook him for you you thought the
gentleman was me yeah the silly fool
tried to pretend he was a student and
sit at the back to try to catch me out
but I saw through him I rather you think
he was a bit stupid oh definitely thick
as a brush what's his name Mr Kenyon yes
do you know him I should do I've come to
collect him I am his
wife oh blimy yes you have dropped
you p
