Book description
Education is one aspect of life which we all share, and consequently it
provides a common interest. Memories of our own education and school
life frequently impinge on our psyche, espcially if we have children
undergoing the process. Too often these memories are soberring
remiscences punctuated by humeorous recollections which prompt the wry
smile and the oft-qupoted anecdote. While Education is a very serious
subject, it does have a lighter side which in these days of cutbacks,
inspections and media-concentration, helps releiieve the tension. This
book is a collection of mad imprints, daft headlines and humorous
anecdotes relation to the world of Education. More often than not it is
the unintentional jokes which are the funniest, and its compilation
contains the most amusing and comical. Suspecting a hidden agenda behind
Meredith's accusations, he sets out to clear his name, whatever the
consequences and whatever price he has to pay to achieve it.

see West Ham champions of the Premier League.
