Bottom in Grammar...because most wallowing at the bottom was because they didn't do any work, but when push came to shove at GCE...everyone sailed through

I did....don't know how,but I did 😂

I always enjoyed the first smell of a new glue bottle. You know, the glue that you can rub into a ball.
Eat it with milk or water.

I hated school milk, particularly in the summer when it was lukewarm 
Hated radiator warm school milk............

I just can't remember, all I recall was that older bottles had old solid glue around the top, but squeezing some new glue you could rub it into a ball.

I so hated milk. I'm sure it put me off milk for life.
