So he is famous amongst those he taught - hopefully for the right reasons :D

He was a fabulous teacher, but retired now. I think its sad how you lose touch with teachers. I would love to see him again and let him know how I was doing, he always thought very highly of me.
In fact, once he embarrassed me in front of the whole class for my poor attendance by reading out my CAT score and saying how it was the best in my year and I should be getting A's. Shame I never listened.

Such is life.....Get a proper job and find your way where you can prove to yourself and others that your contribution is worthwhile and you train by experience, not by listening to failed tutors who would find a better job if they could.

What would you even class as a 'proper job'? I can't think of anything I would rather be doing right now, even if I have been sat up all night writing case notes. It's all very worthwhile when you can see justice being done, and it very nearly always is done regardless of what the daily express might tell you.

Re: population

I was very interested in the figures especially Ossy 12,532, can't remember the exact figure but the population has increased by about 1000 over the last 15 years, used to be around 11,500 give or take
