Imagine what it would do for TEFL if Sir Dave was associated with the business? Imagine the marketing potential! Whoa!

It would be a disaster of biblical proportions. 
The Ewan McGregor ads in Japan were bad enough. I think that more rational hiring policies, greater assistance with professional development, and efforts of reform in educational insitutions would do this industry a lot more good than some footballer's publicity stunt. |

dduck, he got an OBE didn't he - not a knighthood. Hardly worth much IMO, my great grandfather got an MBE and he did much more for international relations than David Beckham - he fought for the Empire in Afghanistan  |
