Roger McGuinn

You might wonder how I get any work done with so many concerts and reviews. Answer: I don’t. This one is Roger McGuinn at Poole last night. It happens most years that there are a lot of concerts and theatre in November. Next week sees two plays plus Bill Wyman.

Advertising language schools

18/10/2011 by Peter Viney

While we wish everyone ELT the very best in their endeavours, Karen and I are ELT authors, and as such we do not endorse any particular language schools. We have commented on some of the excellent places we’ve visited from time to time, but we’re not commenting on place we know nothing about. We’ve had quite a run of advertising links as “comments” from various schools. We love comments, let’s be clear on that, but we’re not advertising or endorsing what we have no knowledge of. It goes in SPAM .
