I always feel the Principal doesn't like me because I'm English.
I've never been invited to show and tell. Well not at a school anyway.

Re: Show and Tell
Well guys, I did it. Not too bad. Only problem was that my step daughter was so excited she kept on shouting out the answers to the other kids questions before I could get a word in and wanted to stand at the front with me, bless her.
Ohe small cock up was when they asked me if Britain had ever had a war with anyone and I said - well, we had one with you guys, ha ha. The whole class went - aahhhhh, in total shock. The teacher jumped up and tried to explain. My step daughter may well get beat up now. Oh dear. Never again.

Re: Show and Tell
I went into my daughters class last year and did a talk on England it went very well and they were all very interested.................
although one boy did think that the queen was my daughters grandmother
and one boy thought I looked a bit like Princess Di................... Loved him
I took whole load of Cadbury's chocolate in with me for them to try............. only I made them all eat some marmite sandwiches before they could have any.
Anyway it was quite alot of fun and I enjoyed it.
