Teachers from Kenton Bar School old days – Mrs. Usher

Not much to say about her as she never taught me directly except when another teacher was off sick. She was like a small version of The Queen – same hair, same round face. She did have terribly bad breath though unlike our gracious Queen who smells of Palma violets I am told.


Factoid about Mrs. Usher:-

• Saddam Hussein contracted her as a source of poison gas after she retired from teaching. She was connected up to a processing plant that distilled her breath and loaded the distilled essence directly into artillery shells for use against the Kurds amongst others. She married Gerald Bull of super gun fame and died at the hands of a Ninja assassin sent by Hussein after the first Gulf war

 

One horrible commenter made the comparison between Mrs. Usher and Susan Boyle pictured to the right here. I have to disagree with this poster. Mrs. Usher was in FACT The Queen, who often moonlighted as a freelance primary school teacher in order to get some extra Dubonnet money. In order to disguise the sweet smell of Palma violets she would chew on some corgi shit – hence the bad breath issue
