"Morning ........ Test Centre."
" Yes that's right."
"You can't make your test today?"
" Right!"
" I see"
" Does your Instructor know?"
" erm"
"hmmm"
" Well, have you tried putting suntan lotion on it?"
" OK! Thanks for telling us, good luck with it and we hope to see you perhaps in the near future once you rebook"
All in an examiners day I guess.

Farewell Amanda don't forget about us!!
It's with great sadness that the Big Red L Company has to say goodbye to our office controller and chief blogger Amanda, who is off to pastures new in Belgium.
She has done a sterling job over the last two years with us, and I'm sure all my instructor colleagues will join me in wishing her all the very best in the land of chocolate and beer.
Although, they have just re opened the Brussels to Ashford Eurostar service, so she could always commute to work with us again if her French, or Flemish sounds to the locals like the undercover policeman on 'Allo 'Allo, "Gud Moaning.....etc".
Good Luck and Farewell from all of us at BRL.

That's all, Folks
I am very sad to say that this is my final blog post. I'm moving on to pastures new, but I'm happy to leave this blog in the capable hands of Jason Hall. I'm not sure whether he knows this yet - Jason, by the way, you're in charge of the blog now.
Thank you to all the instructors who have brightened up dreary days with funny anecdotes, I shall miss you all tons.
Much love xxxx

Theory test = not optional
ring ring
Amanda: Good afternoon, Big Red L, Amanda speaking...
Caller: I would like a 5 day intensive please
A: Ok, have you driven before?
C: No.
A: In that case you'll probably be looking at a 40 hour course, which will take you about 2 weeks.
C: ... I have driven before.
A: Ok, how many hours?
C: Erm.... 15?
A: Alright, then you'll be looking at around 25 - 30 hours. have you passed your theory test?
C: Nope.
A: You'll need to pass that as soon as poss then, if you're after an intensive. Shall I give you the phone number to ring and book your theory?
C: No.
A: Er... do you already have the number?
C: No.
A: Oh. How will you book it then?
C: I don't want to take a theory test.
A: ...
Jason Hall was in the office at the time, and as he pointed out, there's not much we can do for someone who refuses to take the theory - it's not an optional extra!
