    Very nice part of the country. This is the place with the free parrots, right?

    What's the cost of living like there? I mean it's the same salary but Pro-Rata is a pretty drastic amount to be losing..

    The cost of living is average. The average salary is about £15,000, so this is considered a good wage.

    It's not my job, but I'm helping out at the moment, as they are without a tech, and the extra money whilst I doing my teacher training is a bonus!

    I have recommended that they make the post full time. If you apply and are interviewed, you might like to explore that possibility!

    In the years that I've lived here, I have NEVER see a parrot in the wild!

    Oooh. Tempted. Currently at Cockermouth School, but I think this one's a little too far to drive every day (over 60 miles from home)...

    Really? I used to go to Newcastle that way and saw them every other week, either flying about or sat on the buildings! That was back in 2003 though.

    As the road speeds up north of the village seeing a flock of parrots fly in front of your windscreen is very unnerving!
