dlav- I'm not sufficiently childish to hurl abuse at you- but I'm not on here to tell lies- facts are facts- and it does get worse! Like I said, depends what you're used to and if it came out of your own pocket I guess. I'm simply saying that I expected a great deal more from the private sector and have been sorely disappointed- I'm not interested whether or not you think they are lies or not- I am reporting these events as FACTS. Unless you were there next to me you have no idea whether this went on or not. Can you remember your lessons being flippantly abandoned at school or sixth form- no chance- teacher would have been out the door like a shot- never to work again. Most lecturers at Ox wouldn't last five minutes in the public sector. The FREE THINKERS amongst those reading this thread will appreciate what I've said as the truth. But again, if you get the 14 at the end of it- who cares? Just let's have less of the brainwashing hyperbole and marketing claptrap. It's obvious that the guy who was dismissed didn't swallow the pap in the brochure- and they didn't like that.
