Well, tough shit - you missed it! The deadline for applying for this prime Tefl post was March 22, but I still feel it's worth a gag or two!
According to blurb for this advert on tefl.com, "the Southall School of Languages and Missionary Orientation is looking for
an experienced ELT Teacher to work from 2 to 12 April ... You will be teaching 3 - 6 hrs a day in a vibrant and muliti cultural town of Southall."
Surely that should be 'the vibrant and multi-cultural town of Southall', if they truly mean that sub-continental suburb in west London; but maybe it is just one of many 'muliti cultural' Southalls all over the third world. As for the poor spelling, I guess there's still a lot of missionary work to be done there still, especially in the basics of English.
Of course, the best thing about being a missionary is the warm fuzzy feeling of devotion and sacrifice you get when you pick up your negligible wages every week. This place will be no exception, as the SSLMO pays a Godless twelve quid an hour!
Still interested? Then give a quick call on 02085744456 to the DoS, who bears the uncannily traditional English name of Agnieszka Wiazowska. If she hasn't yet got herself lost in the swamps of deepest Southall, she might be able to fill you in on the muliti cultural charms of the area.
And you can teach her how to pen an advert in proper English too!

"Why are the fees low compared to some other language schools in London?"
They appear to ascribe it to their charitable status. Any teacher reading this may well have a more cynical view...
"Does this mean the teachers are not qualified or experienced?"
Hmm, no. Probably naive, or living with mummy and daddy or with a rich husband...
Or maybe they're just under-qualified and gullible.
Like most Teflers in the UK.
Check these cheeky/pretentious fuckers, Sandy: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AGI953/senior-teacher/ "13k"? what, *every* year?
I wonder what "junior" teachers get?
Surprised you haven't spotted this:

I'm moving back to the UK soon and keep a keen eye on employment prospects. The local LIDL is looking a good bet...

Hmmmm...Paul Lowe and his gay scat/'Shit And Castle' literature genre...I hear there are TEFL franchises in Moscow and St. Petersburg at the moment. Given the political climate over there as regards foreign NGOs and that as well as regards benders/friends of Gwen Stefani,it's an opportunity for Paul Lowe -and hopefully the source of a good laugh for us all when he gets caught and gets a damned good shoeing!
Time to buy shares in Diamond White.
Hmm, that picture on the SSLMO website. Taken in Windsor Park.
Is that ... now, could it possibly be ... Paul Lowe, lurking in the shadows in the background?
Yes, YES! It's that unsung hero of the international Tefl tapestry, the soon-to-become garlanded poet and author. P Symon (aka The Windsor Swindler)!
Strewth, how do you manage to do it, Paul? Always in the RIGHT place at the RIGHT time?!
