Toffo, Hiscocks left within the first year I started there (1998). Never had her as a teacher myself but you could always hear her voice no matter where you were in the Lloyd block. Right moody cow she was, used to shout at every chance she got.

You might remember the maths teacher, forgot his name now, began with R. Used to flick boggys at people. Stunk like BO an all.
