On a happy note for me, though I get on pretty much with my birth mother, most of the time, I am so lucky to have been adopted by the parents who adopted me. They were ordinary people but very special. I wouldn't change a thing. I feel privileged and lucky. I look at my birth siblings and...

She was. A big wench! I think it was 1968 to 1973

Dionysius, she was a 34, but not double D, She told me, incase you wondered. She was the first to wear hot pants, (along with boots) remember those? We went out for about a year. I met her once after we had left and she had become a psychiatric nurse. Plenty of learning scope with our teachers I...

No I don't think I would like be at school today but then again I might strike it lucky?. I was hit for things I didn't do at school. Or for not wearing the correct uniform which was not always down to me. My parents were not rich. Some children were struck because teachers just didn't like...

I found it hard later on as I was bullied but I stood up to the bullies but it's harder when it's a teacher who is the bully. My friend's granddaughter in law teaches in Notts, she has no guidance how to deal with a boy who Identifies as a dog. The other children find it hilarious. My...

Is that irony or did you really?

Colours showed through their pristine white shcool blouses

That's horrible, I was regaling some of the stories watered down, to the family here for the holidays. The found it hard to believe. We have an older friend who had worse stories of teachers who hated some children for no reason and vented it on them.

I used to deliver proofs to Walter Smith in Coventry in Bull Yard, then it became Mr Eatwell wasn't nice after that.

We had a Tuckey in Coventry . The Real Meat Company they have a farm still I think not far where you can buy.

My schoolfriend wore a sky blue bra and was called out for it. A male gym teacher walked through the girls' changing rooms as a short cut to the gym. Some girls were in bras they all thought it was funny.

I rebelled just before I left during exam time. I came in late, not on purpose but had to walk the proverbial the plank in my black and red platforms with segs on, my non uniform trousers and jacket, shirt and no tie. I suppose we will let you take your exam, said the teacher. probably 1972.

The pettiness of it all. Some girls had polo mint hair slides, the senior mistress jokily told the girls to pop them in their mouth and come back with a hair grip, She wasn't normally that pleasant, she was evil but she needed the choristers. For some reason she had the job of how the choir...

Sorry the Mac keeps changing things when I send stuff. Second word school should read shoes. We stood out but we never won anything , second place maybe. Great fun though. No one was allowed to wear make up to school unlike now, long hair was tied up, with navy or blue ribbon, nothing else, no...
