She's at the hospital!

Why aren't you at school?

- Ah, well, I've got a...

You've got a free, of course you've got a free.

Only you haven't got a free...

- No, I've got a...

- You've got a study period!

I've got a hangover!

Taxi, taxi, taxi!

Please sir, I'm terribly sorry Mr Stimpson.

Laura?

I'm sorry, Mr Stimpson,

I've got a free...

Right! Laura, hospital.

Right...

Not far out of your way.

It's not a free, Laura, it's a

study period.

Study periods are not frees.

This is your parents' car,

is it Laura?

They don't mind.

You've got A levels this year, Laura, you shouldn't

be driving around in study periods; you're a prefect.

You should be setting an example.

Right... Left!

Right, wait here.

Do you mind waiting? I don't know

where she goes.

I'm only missing biology.

Mind the step.

So, she said:

"Elly, it's no use letting Lou have the

sherry glasses...

"She won't appreciate them,

she won't polish them...

"You know what she's like." So I said:

"Well, all right...

"I've no desire to burden people with

possessions they don't want," I said.

"That's not my intention and

never has been."

So naturally, she thought that if

the sherry glasses aren't going to Lou,

they'd be going to Pam.

But I thought to myself:

"Wait a moment, Elly..."

Keep moving Mrs Trellis,

nearly there.

"Hold on a moment, Elly," I thought.

Are we going to the hospital?

We're at the hospital, Mrs Wheel.

We're just going to have a

little look at the country.

How lovely? Ooh, isn't that lovely?

"Not so fast, Elly," I thought.

"If Pam gets them, she'll give them

to Babs...,

"and we all know what she'll do

with them."

Aren't we lucky!

Are we going to the hospital?

Don't worry, Mrs Wheel.

We'll come back to the hospital after

we've had a little look at the countryside.

And then I thought:

"Well, hold on...

"Millie's living in Majorca.

"Well what on Earth is she going to do

with two dozen sherry glasses?

But I thought:
"Even if she wants them,

how should I get them to her?"

Aren't we lucky people!

Maybe I'm old-fashioned,

maybe I don't understand

modern ideas about...

We've missed her. She's gone!

Which way then?

Left or right, Mr Stimpson?

Laura, Laura. Will you drive

me to Norwich?

Okay. Where is it?

It's vital, you see. I shouldn't ask you otherwise.

It's the headmasters' conference.

I'm the first headmaster

of a maintained comprehensive school

ever, in the whole of history, to become

Chairman of the Headmasters' Conference.

- Just tell me where it is.

- It's not far.

Not all that far.

Not too far.

Left or right?

Oh, right...

Left!

No, no... right... right.

- 163 miles...

- Right.
