Please note, Terry is NOT available to answer questions for school projects or literacy exercises. In fact do not send emails from schools - full stop. School emails are auto-deleted. And Terry is NOT available for school visits, personal appearances or talks. (What part of "No school projects" do teachers fail to understand? We still get them! School projects mean you, the reader, and Terry, do the work while the teachers put their fat feet on the desk. Genuine fans only.)
No! Seriously ... no schools at all
“I detest schools with a passion. I’d rather cut off my left arm and eat it with Marmite than go into a school. And I don’t even like Marmite. Schools are an utter waste of young life. Learning things that will never be any use to you. The only reason they are there is to keep kids off the street."
