Famed for how he says sedimentary rock

In brief

Mr Hoyle is a Geography teacher at BRGS. He is famed for how he says sedimentary rock and telling his classes about his Polish wife. He appears to have quite a passion for his subject, often getting cross if people do not understand geographical facts the first time around. As with most teachers in the school, he has his "own room" - which, for Mr Hoyle, is room 32. He has a liking for the band Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. Has a more than strange way of talking: for example, instead of saying 'human' he would say 'U-man'. Famous for his unibrow, or, as it is known to commoners, monobrow.

Quotes

Photographs

• Mr Hoyle shows his GCSE class of 05-07 a slideshow of photos showing different living conditions in a place:

Hoyle: "I took these photos"

Students [shout together]: "No you didn't sir, we saw these pictures about 3 years ago! Mr Spencer showed them to us!"

Hoyle: "No, I really did!"

Students:"NO YOU DIDNT!"

Hoyle: "Oh okay, just a little white lie."

• Mr Hoyle: "This looks like a nice city - but if you look here you will notice this part where all the scummy scum scums live."

Random student: "IT'S BURNLEY!"

Pupil: "Sir, where did you get your jacket from?"

Mr Hoyle: "Burtons. Jacket, trousers, shoes, tie and shirt all for £100. Bargain." [short silence while still staring at the pupil] "You should buy your school uniform from Burtons too. Oh no, they only do mens clothes."

Student: Sir, why would you buy three-quarter-length waterproof pants?

Hoyle: What? I'm not wearing....

Student: I know, I know, I just wondered why they sell them...

Hoyle: Well, the water drips off lower down your leg, so it's more comfortable

Student: Eh?

<five minute explanation about advantages of three-quarter-length waterproof jackets>

Student: No, three-quarter-length PANTS!

Hoyle: Oh, pants? Sorry, I thought you meant jackets. Well, it's just personal preference really, I suppose they're cooler and more practical in hot countries, to keep your legs cool.

Student: But then you'd get your feet wet.

Hoyle: What? You wouldn't wear them when it was raining.

Student: Then why are they waterproof?

Hoyle: Oh, you mean WATERPROOF three-quarter-lengths? Erm. I have no idea.
