Yes that is true and even though I did not really like it it just felt good that it was bought just for me

Of course you could also strip the thin wrapping from the bottle. If you looked through it everything was like Avatar. Except it was Orange and not 3D.
We didn't have computers then.

i remember being scared of policemen

Being terrified of my teacher's.....

it was a scary time ozzy

Teachers had special cupboards for their weapons.

I'm shaking just now thinking about some of my teacher's.......

pervy

I remember white dog poo.

Teachers.


I remember getting the belt once for refusing to do the lines I had been given for not playing rugby for the school team at the weekend ( I was "picking tatties" making some money instead.

3 on each hand, and one extra for not being able to open the door to get out the room.

I got it another time during art. Our arts teacher had been snowed in so we had 40 minutes to sit and do as we pleased.. Opening her top drawer and lifting out her "taws" just as the head popped his head in the door, "would you like to bring that to me young man"  "No sir".. 2 on each hand that time and one up the wrist.


Now that I think of it we had some mad teachers.."OLD GRANNY COWAN" the home economics teacher used to dive under her desk whenever a jet plane flew overhead. "SINKY WATSON" splayed feet and rapid steps are ever so funny to watch.HOT C"CK" our chemistryu teacher got his name because of an unforunate accident whilst teaching first years the art of pouring one dangerous chemical into another.

Oh and if the corridors wern't stinking of the latest experiment in the bilogy labs (usually rotten eggs) we had the unmistakable stench of "MINGER BELL" who had the worst case of BO I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing.

Barley Wine and Cider =A leg over
Maggie xx

The peed-your-pants dungarees for anyone who had an "accident" in my infants class. I wore them once

Sawdust for sick .

The Queen's Silver Jubilee...my Nan dressing me and my cousin up in outfits made of red whhite and blue crepe paper and being sent to a massive community get together in Poplar

I was three...the photos still exist
I am sure my Nan thought I looked cute tho

Proper school dinners with veg that stank out the school all morning....

Gypsie Tart.

Where is Gypsie?

Nitty Nora the Biddy explorer....

She went by the alias of Nora Nitty from the Bug Committe at our School

..was yours trained in cruelty and pain like ours?....

Yes, and guaranteed to put the fear of God into you, she specialised in pure, no nonesense humiliation infront of the rest of the class.....**shudders**

Me too. So much so I used to get a recurring nightmare about them coming to get me! And this was when I was under 5 years old!

Standing alone in the cold bleak room, as nurse hatchett with the spectecles that pointed  at the rims told you to remove your underwear, as she cracked the fingers on her ice cold hands.

Now cough..

I remember songs that actually had melodies and tunes.

Half-day closing on Wednesdays.  And Saturdays!  No Sunday shopping too! 

Coffee powder , especially that Mellow Birds cack that was only good for drawing faces in with a teaspoon.

Chocolate concrete with pink custard and gigantic Dundee biscuits



trust me to remember food

Caused by cheapo Chappie dog food.

Creamola foam..orange, raspberry and lemon. I loved it

Cycling shorts! and apparently there coming back this season AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!

Giving the soda stream a couple of extra blasts until it made a rattling noise.


A pint for less than a pound..

A pint for half a crown.

72p for a pint of light is as far back as I go GJ ..Back in the day when a barmaid would feel your chin for age verification.

I loved the stuff, Scotty. We should start a campaign to bring it back.

It still reminds me of getting better  D'you remember that other stuff.. was it Fergusade or something? Paler than Lucozade and rancid!

My primary teacher used to rap my knuckles with a ruler every time I wrote with my left hand ..

Me too,it used to come in glass bottles with gold coloured cellophane over it.I also remember getting Rose hip syrup on a spoon in winter time also Cod liver oil,strangely enough I loved both.
I also had Scarlet fever as a child, I recovered fine,but was "contagious" for 6 weeks,and had to stay indoors,the doc used to come to the house and swab my throat,my brother had it too.

Thinks back to childhood illnesses...I've had Scarlet fever,Measels(twice) German measels,chickenpox.All before inoculations for them.I'm 53.
I was okay with them all,well no lasting damage fortunately.

OMG... me too..... I hated it But I loved Virol.... I also remember having camphorated oil rubbed on my chest when I had a cold.... oh, and liberty bodices...

**splutters** Are you sure about that

I had Scarlet Fever when i was a kid, along with Chicken Pox, Measles and Impetigo!!! Did me no harm either
