What wouldn't?   ;)

Take your word for it, Gadget, no good at maths!

I started student-teaching but still kept on working in Woolies on a Sat, until one of the children from my school saw me and the mother looked stunned, so I had to give up the shopwork - well it didn't fit with my new status really  :D

Oh, I could do primary school stuff. (and I won't take responsibility for all the young of today) I also got my GCSE O level in calculus etc, but neither I nor the Maths master knew how that happened  :D
