In the town where I work there is a branch of a well known supermarket - the one with a greater number of motivating factors for shopping there. They run a scheme where if you buy enough petrol from them they give you a five pound voucher for use in store. This week I reached a sufficiently high amount of environment-wrecking for them to give me my reward. So today I went in. I was apprehensive of bumping into people from school. The head count was one year ten I teach who i really don't get on, another year ten I don't teach, a PE teacher I've never ever spoken to and the head's secretary.

The big question was would I dare to buy any alcohol or would I wuss out and go to another supermarket later on. As I was wandering down the beer aisle I had to pass a pupil. Oh well, in for a penny in a for a pound, if you're seen even looking at beer chinese whispers will turn it in to much more anyway. I imagine it'll be round school on Monday that I was seen on a park bench swigging whisky from the bottle, possibly with my head in a bin and tied to a farmyard animal.
