Ain't that the truth. For some reason there would always be a big smelly floater in the school bogs too. Did you ever have to use the pink scratchy carbolic soap. Used to scratch half my skin off... |

Since we are on about school days. What about school dinners, I grew up in Scotland and remember, Spam fritters, grey Stovies, battered white sausage. Uuuuugh..
Things definitely improved when we moved to England. |
