I Had a Mean Teacher
She was also my neighbour
She was my P5 Teacher- meaning she was my teacher whilst I was 8 years old.
'Cross by name and Cross by nature', i discovered that even her own husband could not get on with her in later years.
She would spit whilst she shouted at you - earning her the nickname of Spitfire and it did not help that my brothers, 20 years older than me i must add so they are not unaccountable, armed me up with these nicknames and sayings before I went into her class, which was not the best start, as i was as parrot at that age
