I understand Plod had been a prisoner of the Japanese.

He was.
And escaped by swimming across a straight between two islands at night.
I was at school with his son.
And went on to save his life…long story.

I agree with your comments on the three proper teachers you mention, Cass, to which I’d add George Walker.
I ended up a languages teacher coz of Dick Sendall. I assume he’s no longer with us?

My only memory of Sendall was in private study, where in the first period we signed a register.
He called the register next week.
Quite a few names, then:
“Best? G.Best? Best?
Charlton?
R.Charlton?
Charlton?
Stiles?….Oh, you people must think I’m so stupid”
Crosses out the entire Man Utd team.
We are now holding our collective breath…
“Stownerds? R.Stownerds?
Supperds? R.Supperds?”
Gales of laughter, Sendall now crossing out R.Spackwards, and a few others.
To say he wasn’t amused was not enough.

Didn’t a similar thing happen with Ma Burlinson except the name she kept calling out was P Niss , had my brothers class in hysterics apparently. Ah the childish mind is easily amused, wouldn’t have it any other way.
