The 麻豆社 has learnt that more than half of the teachers at a troubled Leicester junior school have quit - just months after the government took it over. 10 out of 16 teaching staff at Uplands Junior School have handed in their notice and will be gone by the New Year.

But we were so taken with the advert we wondered if 20 years on. What do people think of us now?
