LO: To Know They Don't Write Reports Like They Used To!

Two Mr Ps in a Pod(Cast)

🎉 The Mr Ps are back and ready to tackle the start of the summer term, but not without a few grumbles—especially when it comes to stolen bank holidays and shortened breaks! Mr P shares his outrage about only getting one week off for Easter and the injustice of missing out on a bank holiday when it falls during school holidays. Teachers deserve their perks! 🏖️ There’s a recap of Mr P’s Easter trip to Barry Island for the long-awaited Gavin & Stacey tour, plus reflections on turning the big 4-0 with a joint party, a live band, and plenty of dancing (and not-so-plenty of recovery time). 😴 Adam gets real about the struggles of sleep deprivation, thanks to a six-year-old who recently gave up his dummies. If you’ve ever tried to parent after a night of zero sleep, this one’s for you. 🕺 A chat about signs you know you're getting older—whether it’s finding joy in doing absolutely nothing, battling rogue ear hairs at the barbers, or being weirdly excited about a cordless vacuum. Midlife has never sounded so real… or so funny.

🎤 The Mr Ps also dish out advice to a nervous assistant head struggling with assemblies, share listener stories that range from jaw-dropping to heartwarming, and revisit some of the most savage comments ever made by teachers back in the day. Let’s just say… they don’t make school reports like they used to!
