Good question, Syd.

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 always loved the first page of a new exercise book.......

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.
Funny how kids grew up faster then in some areas and kids grow up faster now in other ways, but remain childlike for longer......

Glue sniffing
Was it Evostick, or something like that?
Aaaaaargh!....hated school milk....always off in summer and frozen solid in winter
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.
That would only be good for society if every boy or girl got the opportunity.
Who would want to do that?............ and take the flack when the teacher gets back and sees the chaos!

Didn't happen in my school....a prefect came in and they had no qualms whatsoever, neither did I when I became prefect,but on the whole we were a bit softer than the teachers

However, I do realise that it is important part of my diet, so force myself to have milk by eating cereal. But the milk has to be really, really cold.

I don't think any of them need to know about sex, if you get my point. Statistically speaking.

We got sent miles around the blooming countryside
The smell of cabbage and gravy reminds me of school dinner............

I don't know why they are turning their noses up, I loved school meals and would eat that, no problem.

Us too, but there was a bank on part of the track which we diverted down into the park where we sat on a bench until we thought it safe enough to stagger back
