That's it, finished work yesterday, the wife will be unchained from the computer and we can both feel sorry for ourselves because we have colds.
Hoping now that all the people I told to call back in January do, have a very empty dairy, could have fitted the first week into one day, but that's what happens when everyone wants to take their test for Christmas.
This year, one pupil failed their test first time, could have claimed 100%  pass rater, two zero faults passes and one very scary moment.
Student complained I was over instructing , so I sat back, a little longer than I should, when I eventually moved we missed a parked car by centimeters. His answer, with a 4x4 coming towards us he didn't think there was enough room so decided it would be safer to crash into the parked car than the 4x4?
Happy Christmas and All the Very Best for 2015 to everyone  who have, commented and plussed my ramblings.
Take Care

Very Well Done Chloe Critchlow. First time pass with ZERO faults. Yes that is good, we instructors like to boast about students getting Zero faults.

Had pupils from other instructors over the years and they all come with the same idea, you have to watch the rev counter so you know when to change gear.
When it gets to whatever change into 2nd, then at  ? 3rd, they all spend more time watching the rev counter than looking where they are going.
I get student to their test as soon as possible, with just one more test to go this year they have all, apart from one,  been first time  passes  with low faults. None have been taught to use the rev counter.
