Funny, funny.

There's a pub in Ambleside called The Golden Rule.

I have had some classic misspellings over the year. An unprintable one was when a child was genuinely making a phonetic attempt at 'couldn't' using a Sheffield accent. I'll leave that one for you to work out.

My favourite, however, was when my class had been reading 'The Midnight Fox'. One pupil had done a beautiful drawing of a mountain at night with a fox silhouetted against the moon. Full A4 page, completely coloured in, save for a speech bubble coming from the fox's mouth - the child had meant to write 'Woof!' in the bubble, but for some reason known only to him, he'd written "Wool!" I laughed for years.

And then when I finally stopped laughing, we were reading "Buddy" in class one day and the line was supposed to be "Charmaine put her hand on the doorknob". The primmest girl in the class was reading this section at a tense point in the novel: "Charmaine put her hand on the dog-knob," she announced to the class.

Happy days.

Keep well, my friend.
