..I do, Tommy. I remember having one of those haversacks. Well remembered. I went to John Hamilton which was a High School back in the day, don’t remember us not being allowed footy crests. Teachers and Sixth formers wore gowns. The school ended up as Breckfield Comp but is knocked down now. We did win the Echo Cup in my year, though.

Rock Ferry High School in my case. Head teacher and assistant head always in gowns.
Clung to old traditions. Scholars divided into "houses" detention, canings and sadistic gym teachers. Happy days!

Fellow Wool here, I went to Corpus Christi high, one sadist treated his stick with linseed oil and kept it in a snooker cue case,he probably resented the fact he looked like Lurch.

I have previously mentioned our metalwork teacher who, when he got annoyed with you stood you on one of the low stools we had in the workshop.
He then got hold of what passed for sideburns on us adolescent lads, then duly kicked the stool away whereby the aforementioned strands of hair were a most ripped off the side of your face.

Had the full set me. Ruler across the hand, dap on the arse, and a caning.

Different times.

edit. Oh, and remember them massive wooden blackboard things that wipe the chalk off? Had one of them thrown, with force, at me by a maths teacher.

Similarly with me. Slipper on your arse when changed for PE lessons. Only thin white shorts no skids underneath. Then the pervy get would come into the showers afterwards to look at you when in the skuddy to see the red marks.
Getting angry now!
 
Anfield Comprehensive was definitely 'character building'.

Lot's of happy memories, but wish I'd worked harder.

The school dinners were fantastic, and lot's of local chippy's if you fancied eating AL-fresco.

Our metalwork teacher was affectionately known as Wally and was actually a decent guy however,one day he was doing some welding with a mask on when one of the class set alight his old brown overall coat,when he noticed he asked whoever it was to own up which was never going to happen.he lined us up outside the class and we had to go in one at a time for two of the best.
I guess it was one of those times when we actually did deserve it,it was hilarious and for the record he was unscathed.

Lol, at the metal work teacher shouts.

Ours used to make you hold out your clenched knuckles in front of you, then " slice " your knuckles with a metal ruler.

Imagine this now, straight to jail lol

Remember the old Army and Navy stores haversack you toted your books around in?
We had to have ours boarded square so as not to damage the text books. Furthermore in my case I got a twatting for having drawn the Everton crest on the top flap. Only because I was at a grammar school and anything football related was verboten.

You went to the wrong grammar school. I went to St Francis Xavier’s in Woolton, proper football playing grammar.......
 
Went to Speke comp use to play football and swim for the school,picked to play footie instead of swimming one day when they were on the same day,the swimming coach /teacher grabbed me by the neck and banged my head against the javelins that were on the wall in the gym ah the good old days
