And, if that was an 11 plus, it was a lot easier than the one I took!

Quite right ROB. Watching that programme brought back so many memories of my own secondary school in the mid sixties.
The teachers in their gowns, the awful uniforms (we had to wear berets with horrid tassles on in our house colours - mine was clipped to the back of my head, how it stayed on I cant imagine), the discipline (god help you if you didnt get to your feet fast enough when a teacher came in). But most of all it brought back memories of the french teacher who used to lock my shoes in a cupboard all day (I've always got my shoes off) and I had to walk round school all day in my lovely royal blue tights. He also held pupils up by their hair and told them to sit down.
But also the German student who came in to help with our German conversation who we all had a huge crush on. But not forgetting the fabulous history teacher who ruled with a rod of iron but instilled in me a love of history that is still with me.
Those kids dont know what they've got in front of them.
