That is so full of assumption that it really can't be taken seriously. The one bit you got right is that he is a retired teacher.The rest is pure supposition.
Was he always a teacher or did he have another career first before entering the teaching profession? You don't know, do you? Basically, you have gone off on one based on a very low % of the information needed to make such a comment. Not something that would stand you in good stead in the real world, the competitive world, is it?
I too am a retired teacher. I worked for 43 years. Only the last 12 of those in teaching in a school. 27 years in IT starting as a trainee operator progressing to Management roles in mutltiple departments, up to 80 direct reports and budgets of up to €15M a year. I also owned a training company, giving in house language and communication courses for 3 years. Trade was dropping when I got the chance to go full time at a sports college so I stopped trading. I also coached youth keepers for 10 years and had several years as Assistant Trainer to the senior squad at the same club.
rA may well have a similar backround story to tell but you have unilaterally decided that he doesn't without knowing the facts. I'll let you decide how that makes you look...........
Thanks MA and mista...no idea where Ronnie and Reggie are coming from tbh but you’re right MA...so many assumptions and so few facts...bit like that Referendum really.
‘Service!’ Don’t you start!
Where he got the ‘privileged background’ idea from I have no idea. My biggest privilege was having a decent Mum and Dad...come to think of it, that’s possibly the greatest privilege of all so maybe he’s right...though almost certainly not in the way he meant.
Chill ladies... You really are too precious..
He didn't think so and neither did I.
What you have to understand ‘Amster is that this is a typical Angry tactic.
He’s a bit like some - a minority - of those ****agers we used to teach...talks offensive, nonsensical bollux but then, when taken to task, the stock reply becomes...’but I was only joking!’ You’ll doubtless remember the type.
‘I was pulling his chain’ is a much used Angry phrase from way back. I believe it’s popular amongst little cockney gob****es unable to defend their case, which I am apparently able to say with total impunity because of course...I’m only joking.
