Yet another 'rare' tristar photo on ebay :-)

Ebay seller 'team2k' seems to have a fair stack of 'rare' original press T25 photos !
The 'rare' press photos of a UK Tristar seem to come up about once every couple of months.
Good luck to him and all that but it seems a bit off to describe it as 'rare' if you seem to be able to supply them on a very regular basis.
The photo I bought now has about one fifth of its original 'rareness' left

Lets talk percentages

What is a percentage?
A percentage is the top part of a fraction whose bottom part is 100.
So 50% means 'half of' and 25% means 'a quarter of'. 100% means the complete quantity.
Why bother with them?
Percentages are useful because they make it very easy to compare things.
For example, suppose the marks in two successive tests are 67/80 and 51/60. It is not very easy to say which of these was best. Percentages use our ordinary number system of 10's, 100's etc and, because they are out of 100 rather than 10, we avoid a lot of the decimal points which make some people twitchy.
That enough?

Teacher of primary age children = 5 words
I've yet to have a youngster tell me they're 'primary' age when asked
Primary school teacher = 3 words

No, Im all for keeping things simple . Headmaster, Headmistress.. conveys more information in the one word than Headteacher for instance.

I think 'teacher of those of under age 10 mentality' might be a better description in this case....... or is it 'teacher of under age 10 mentality'...... I lose count.
