What is it with PE teachers? All seem to be psychos. Our own psycho PE teacher was Mr Lewis who used to watch us in the showers. On a school skiing trip to Italy he got rat arsed in the bar and ended up fighting an Italian policeman.
Other incident was when the school's ancient Bedford coach's brakes failed going down a steep hill and smashed into the back of a car waiting at the lights at the bottom. Car came off much worse.
Another was in chemistry when the teacher threw some chemical that ignites when it hits water (phosphorous???) into a bowl of water. It instantly ignited, flew upwards and set fire to the polystyrene ceiling tiles. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and aimed it at the burning ceiling that was by now dripping molten polystyrene. As he pulled the trigger, the conical shaped nozzle on the extinguisher must have been loose. It flew off and smashed a florescent light that fell on the benches. Was like something out of a comedy sketch - but being the early 80s, there was no panic and we just carried on. Now there would be an enquiry, authorities involved and no doubt the teacher sacked.
Talking of chemistry lessons, they were an excuse to do experiments that created as much smoke as possible so we could have a crafty fag under the benches.
Our maths teacher had a 3 wheel Reliant. One day a group of us managed to drag it from it's position in the car park and wedge it between two huge stone pillars that supported the front of the school. Then went home as it was 3.30pm. Think he had to get the bus.
my PE teachers were strange too, they watched us getting changed and staring at us. They had a bad attitude too
