Last week turned out to be a real stinker.
Thanks to the weather, I lost 25 hours of work. That’s £600 I didn’t get, but which I would have done if it hadn’t snowed.
Anyone thinking of becoming an instructor should bear this in mind. It isn’t easy to earn that £30,000 they keep telling you about on those ads when you lose 50% of your work without warning like this (could anyone have predicted we’d get that much snow after 20 years of the occasional bit of wet hail?)
On the plus side, those pupils I did take out – ones near enough test standard to be able to handle it, and only later in the week – benefited greatly. It might be another 20 years before they see the like again, but at least they’ll now know how easy it is to skid, and how slow you have to drive.
