McDonald's, Cinema, Bowling Alley, KFC - those are the sort of places which may take you on in the evenings.

A word of advice, don't tell them you are good at English because your posts on here indicate otherwise. My daughter is dyslexic and she spells college as 'collage'. She is also doing 'early years' at college and loves the work placements in primary school but I fear her dyslexia may prevent her from working in a school in a teaching capacity. She had originally been aiming towards nursery level where written English doesn't have an impact on the children.

Why not opt to work Sundays and just see your boyfriend on Saturdays? Or vice versa.

Its funny but the higher through education you get the more they seem to care about dyslexia, My friends here at lancaster who are dyslexic get 1 to 1 advice and help from a student support person and they get they cost of their text books refunded to them, a dictaphone to record the lectures, a laptop or desktop pc, and thats just the stuff I know about.

I think there would be more call for teachers with dyslexia than you think due to their ability to pass on study skills to younger ones who struggle, and the fact that schools are more often kitted out now with advanced interactive white boards which would most likely have a spell check function so she could still teach well. I had a dyslexic personal tutor at college and he was a brilliant teacher, luckily today its recognised and given the proper acknowledgement that it needs.

This is something she would have to look into if she did decide to pursue that line. At present she still has work placement in a nursery to come. She doesn't get much help at present in college (which she spells as collage and can't seem to tell the difference) and certainly no dictaphone or laptop provided but she is coping. There is help available from a student support department if it becomes apparent that she really needs it. She has spoken to them bit they must feel that at present she is getting by - it's just that obviously she can't start teaching children that she lives in a "hwse" and attends "collage"

I do believe you are correct macca. I wonder how it ever came to be pronounced hiccup. Mind you in a country where Chalmondley is pronounced Chumley and Farquehar is pronounced similar to the gentlemen who designed WWI German aircraft not to mention Menzies (Mingis) and Beauchamp (Beecham) it's hardly surprising is it?

And dont forget Mrs Bucket Willow!!!

That reminds me - has anybody heard of the movement to pronounce Barnet as "Barnay" by adding an accent to the 'e' ?

It becomes even funnier when noted that Barnet is twinned with the French town of Chaville!

(oh dear we have now thread wandered from a thread wander)

I used to make shirts for the Earl of Rocksavage, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, whose office was in Beauchamp Place.

It was all very confusing for a lad from Lancashire.
