The crazy thing is Joey, is that it was all totally normal and accepted.

If you told your patents that you'd been beaten half to death by a teacher, you got a beating off your dad for giving the teacher reason to beat you in the first place and also for being a cryarse.

So you learnt to keep your mouth shut from a very early age.

At no point did it make me not want to go to school though, it's just the way it was.

Yep so true my PE teacher asked me in the gym to viault over two other pupils which I just about managed on a wooden spring board apparatus - then not liking me being a plump kid bent half way down in the que at the back asking me to vault over three persons - I politely told him it was not possible - threatened me with the pump slipper on my arsp which was the norm- get on with it so I gladly landed on top of him flattening him to the gym mat floorlol
The whole class applauded and laughed, and he physically punched me all over the place till three of the bigger boys dragged him off- end of PE lesson - I had brusis all over I was only 11 years old went home that evening told my dad who was hard as nails - don't be a baby get on with it?:eek:
I got my own back on him in time as I got older a crunching tackle on the football field in which he limped away, and a bouncer bowling at him in the nets lol

It was the same with the Police.

You got cauight by the Police, you got a smack and taken home. You then got an even worse smack off your dad for bringing " shame to the family door / getting caught ".

You really couidnt win !!!!

The only decent teacher there was the history teacher : went with the fabulous name of Basil Alphonsus Field. When he cba to teach used to play Monty Python records instead of the lesson.

He was either before or after my five years.
Do not recognise the name but sounds a bit of a character.

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.

Twice I've been asked to put packs of chewing gum on the Tesco shopping list. Twice I've picked them off the shelf and put them in the trolley with the rest of the stuff. Twice I've returned home with no chewing gum. They must have fallen through the holes in the trolley. Twice.

Guess you will take extra care next time. Put them on the spuds. No problem there.
