2 hours later - How weird?? One of our manual instructors has decided to do automatic, and bought an auto tonight, he instantly gets a £3 an hour pay rise, allowing his existing manual pupils to be passed out to other manual instructors . . . . auto waiting list fills up the auto instructor, his ex-pupils fill the manual instructors . . . .. win/win situation, ain't life weird??
I've just been over to Harlow for a 2 hour lesson only to find the pupil not there. Apparently "her mum wasn't well and she'd gone to look after her". After 12 years you hear them all

Still don't know why she couldn't have called. Was my only lessons today, company I'm driving for charged £22 an hour and offered first lesson at half-price. So, I figure I'm £10 out of pocket if the pupil doesn't contact me. It's 20 miles to Harlow from me, a long way for a lesson but I need the work.
