Further details
Deputy Head of Chemistry Mr Church is about to resign from Greybridge School, but the arrival of Miss Postern the new French teacher changes everything. PE teacher Mr Gunn also has designs on the new member of staff so Mr Church takes advice from a pupil on how to succeed with women.
Mr Church's phone doesn't send picture messages, so he can't follow Manyou's first suggestion. That just leaves the option of offering her a lift home. The course of true love never did run smooth, particularly in an Austin Maxi.
