Tweet this morning from Greater Manchester Police.

Please don't put a photo of your driving licence on social media.

Apparently lots of people are doing this again.

On holiday when people ask what your job is, what is your answer?
When I first qualified in 2000 my first holiday I told people what I did for a living and spent the whole of the holiday either giving advice, listening to how well they taught their son/daughter. The next holiday I said, 'Public Hangman'.  I've had the job ever since. As my wife does the office, is typing this we spend enough time talking about my work so holiday are holidays from work.
Where is this going?
A black friend a retired  GP, stays in 5* hotels and tells people in terrible English he sells ladies knicker on Ashton Market.
A big black high up copper, also 5* does a great street speak 'init' says he's a road sweeper, but suspects other guess think he may be a drug dealer so leave him alone.
A paramedic is an odd job man, his wife has to change any fuses.
A pediatric intensive care nurse works night cleaning out dustbin wagons.
Anyone got any better jobs?

Took a pupil out yesterday, his first lesson since we finished Christmas week. The week before that after I'd said he was ready for extra lessons with dad, dad phoned me for advice which I'm happy to give freely.
Couldn't believe the improvement when I took hm out yesterday, which again proves my saying that a parent working with the instructor is the best help you can have. Whereas I have another pupil who is forever checking that they remember correct what I told them last week because dad thinks I'm either wrong or the pupil isn't remembering correctly.
Why can't parents see it saves them money? I've told the pupil to book a test, trouble is this is another pupil I can't boast about which means it'll probably be a clean sheet.

I'm forever telling my pupils not to trust anyone, to consider all drivers as idiots.
Yesterday had to dual a pupil as we approached a side road. Out of that side road, which has a solid white line, without stopping, just yards in front of us came a driving instructor. Don't think he even saw us. See what I mean, don't trust anyone.

Dangerous Driving.

Just read in the daily paper about a driver having eye site so bad he ploughed down and killed a young man on a pelican crossing. He didn't see him.
The driver was charged with careless driving, given a fine and banned from driving. To my mind the charge should be dangerous driving, the fact that a family has lost a son/brother surly can't be called careless?

My boss, Lady Olivia pictured below would like to wish everyone All the Very Best for 2014, and point out that while her staff enjoyed Gaelic Coffee she got just one spoonful of cream.
Happy New Year
