But maybe he just didn't care - he also used to take off his shoes and socks and pick his toenails during class! (And he was *normal* compared to some of them!)

He also smelt very strongly of pipe smoke. He was lovely. Have to say that my music teacher (the school one) had a kettle in the classroom to ensure regular coffee.

He seemed like someone who really didn't enjoy school one little bit. Ooh, Joyce, that’s a fab idea…wonder if he’d go for it? ;)
