I miss my bacon barm, since I retired, but it's a bit too far to go for breakfast.

Likewise at Dynamo and Electrical Services, the young goffer would take the fish and chips orders from the workers and take their money, I would phone the order through to the local chip shop and the goffer would have my permission to leave 15 minutes before the dinner break to collect them. There was also one other young lad who did the same for butties from the local butty shop.

The point there is that the goffer had permission to go to the chippy and butty shop. And I had permission from the manager to give that permission.

Did the teacher have permission to be outside the school during school hours? Was she there to buy staff breakfasts? I’ve posed this question before but no one seems to have been interested in making a comment.

I wonder why not? Could it possibly be that my query could have a ring of truth in it and the teacher supporters would then have to admit that she was in the wrong?
