At 5 years of age I was nearly lifted off the floor by my ear by a bad tempered French Nun. Didn't tell my parents because they would just pull the other ear. Plimsoll around the back of the legs was common, too.

I got a small scar in the middle of my forehead from a blackboard rubber, it was meant for the boy behind but teacher didn't throw it far enough and hit me instead, Teacher said it was my fault I was hit as I should have ducked !.

At junior school some damage was done in a school room and my name was given to the deputy head by someone who said it was me. I was caned on the hand without anything being said, I was not even given the opportunity to plead my innocence. My dad was a big fella, normally quite quiet, he nearly exploded when he found out and decided to have a word with the teacher concerned, and the headmaster. The issue was that I wasn't in school the day the damage was done, I was attending a hospital appointment. I believe canings ceased in the school from that day on.

You suffered that others might be free.

There were some cruel teachers around in the 60's.

I went to a Jesuit run college, they used to hurl the window opening pole like a spear…..

I can remember being tasked with filling the ink Wells. You dare not spill a drop or you got beaten. I could barely lift the ink bottle

Ink monitor got you an extra bottle of milk. Prime job.

Not sure if this is the right thread tbh, but.... my mother-in-law has now been here for 3 months!!

My question, what d'yall like to eat?!?!

I cook everyday, vegetarian, spicy, rice, pasta (both brown) blah blah....she eats it but doesn't enjoy it.

Left to her own devices she'd have spag hoops on toast ffs.

What do I do?

Edit, doesn't like cheese, tomatoes, onions, peppers ....
