A teaching friend...
Trip to Germany - takes the overnight from Hull to Zeebrugge, coach journey to Cologne, 3 days looking round the local wonderment.

4 teachers, 40 kids. What could go wrong?

1. Pleading with the ship's manager not to put a Y9 girl and boy in the cell after they were caught rutting on deck at 2 in the morning on the way there.

2. A diabetic pupil going into a fit after losing her insulin on a tour of Cologne - rush to the hospital.

3. A pupil getting a shoeing off the local street gang after shouting 'heil hitler' and doing the goosewalk, Basil Fawlty style.

4. The coach driver threatening to abandon the group just outside Aachen after the toilet was blocked up by one enterprising student.

5. A raft of knives, and other small weaponry found in pupil's luggage just minutes before going through customs control at Zeebrugge.

Apart from that, a lovely trip.
