I will spoil them with lots of nice food though. dear greatteacher, praps u should go over wiv js exactly wat he intends to do if he leaves, wat exactly would pay him enough or interest him enough, he must not give in to a whim or homesickness. my js in cambrai says lots r talking bout leaving cos they enjoyed leave so much n finding it hard to have their freedom curtailed again. they prob enjoyed leave tho cos they all had loads of money!
