Dr Eker -French Teacher

Dr Joe Eker or 'Joe Plug' as he was fondly known to his pupils was a French language teacher from the 1940s onwards. His usual way of talking about his charges was to call us "little stinkers" in his thick accent. When pupils complained about the weekly vocabulary tests every Monday morning, they received the reply "I'm working on the principle that if you fling enough dung against a wall, some of  it's bound to stick!"
