There was a bloke in the woodwork class at my school (a subject at which I was utterly useless). One term we had to make a toast rack
He asked if he could make a record rack instead and was told he couldn't. So he made a toast rack three feet long with space for about 60 pieces of toast!! ![lol:](https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/Smileys/default/icon_lol.gif)
Woodwork classes... ahhh...

Apart from possessing a wooden leg (the joint of which he used to oil publicly from time to time
![eeek:](https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/Smileys/default/icon_eek.gif)
) our woodwork master was renowned for coming out with a classic phrase.
One boy had made a disastrous attempt at the current task thereby wasting good timber. The master scolded him for his ineptitude and wastefulness... finishing off with the words:
"Bloody 'ell, lad, wood don't grow on trees yer know!"
