[Romantic Old Bird]

I thought it was very interesting!

A few observations though:

I thought the teacher was liberal in terms of my primary school education in the late fifties/early sixties.

We had pieces of chalk propelled at us for talking, and were caned on the fingers.

We were always addressed by our surname, which, when shouted across the room, corridor or playground struck fear and terror through every fibre of my being.

We were indeed made to finish our dinner (I blame them for my weight problems, b******s!) and had a teacher at the end of every table who berated us on table manners.

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