SCAM WARNING

The other day I went to the bank.

I think I was tailed from the bank(was walking). I went into a chemist, found an empty counter, counted some money for my purchase. Just then this lad taps me on the right arm"you dropped something" (2 x $5000 notes obviously not mine on the floor)

As I stooped over I remembered "this is just how they snatched my wife's cell-phone; is the other guy on my left,trying to snatch my money off the counter?"- I whipped around , just in time to retrieve my money ou of the hand of the accomplice !! ANJ

Is your son or daughter having difficulty with A Level Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry?

Do the A Level classes contain 30 students rather than 10? Classes this size do not allow for much individual help.

If so, I can coach your son or daughter in the above subjects, having had 35 years experience teaching these subjects. I take only one student at a time, which ensures that the student has individual attention and help.

I also offer computer courses in MS Windows operating system, MS Word word processing, MS Excel spreadsheet, MS Access database, MS Project Project Design, desk top publishing, AutoCAD computer aided design, MS Outlook Express e-mail, Internet browsing and search, Corel Draw, Corel PhotoPaint graphic design and digital photography.
