In his engaging memoir Chris Mullin recalls visiting old family friends on Christmas Day, 2004. 

Malcolm, who teaches in the local primary school, found himself one day “teaching a class of six watched over by three OFSTED inspectors who were , in turn,  watched over, by three of Her Majesty’s Inspectors.”  “You couldn’t make it up,” says Mullin.
