Peugeot extends its discount scheme to UK teachers

Once again, someone ill-informed decides to 'knock teachers' for expressing care and concern rather than being 'work-shy' and 'lazy'. Obviously a person who has not had any teaching experience speaking from a position of ignorance. Very sad. Speak to some real teachers. During term-time work hours often extend to over 60 a week, just to get all that is necessary done.

Be aware that I said 'some' teachers, not ALL teachers. Perhaps if you read my post rather than get all het up, you might have realised I wasn't making any sweeping statements. Noting that teachers have how many months off work compared to ordinary workers?

Maybe if the whole profession was like the best who didn't effectively 'go on strike for 5 months' then go on holiday for 6 weeks and then STILL are agitating to close schools FOR NO GOOD REASON, I might have had some sympathy. Schools should NEVER have closed, as many Northern European countries have ably demonstrated.

But I say again - why should they get preferential treatment ove many other people who have ALSO been working long hours, or, as many have been, made redundant through no fault of their own, but need to replace their car?

This is just pandering / virtue-signalling to earn woke points and a cynical ploy to get sales at the expense of the rest of us. We are fed up.

I agree, in our family we have have two who work in the local hospital and one who works in the local school, and have done so throughout the lockdown. The teachers have been quite vocal in their objections to coming to work or returning in September, yet the profession is being hailed as key worker status and getting offers and pay rises. None of my family are getting any of the special treatment mentioned yet the nurses rely on the ones who work in the hospital and the teachers who do make an effort to do their job couldn't do so without the support of my wife who gets nothing, neither do any of the care workers we know.

1. I agree, my 2008 was going to be p/ex for the new 2008, I went along to my local dealer fell in love with the style and design then was told the PRICE. It was approx £10000 more than the new price of my previous car to the same spec. Walked across the road and bought a Vitara and so far very pleased with my choice. This ended a 22 year relationship with Peugeot and replacing a car every 3/4 years.
