๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง I used to take my little brother with me everywhere, even when I was meeting up with mates. Lots of little brothers and sisters would follow us around the streets. Just the way it was back then.

Before dad could afford a car we went on holiday by train and then the bus. All the boys rushed to get the back seats on the coach. Good times.

I don't know where they got the teachers from at my primary school but most of them seemed to relish being mean.
Miss Bateman in Geography would slap the back of my leg for something she seemed to think I had done wrong.
Miss Charlton in Maths would rack the top of my knuckles with the edge of her heavy wooden ruler for who knows what reason.
Mr Potts in woodworking would whack my arse with his size ten plimsoll.............well yes that was warranted.
Mr Latcher in History would creep up silently from behind and crack the top of my head with the piece of chalk that he always carried between his fingers, or if I was lucky all I had to do was duck behind my desk to avoid being hit by the gr***de he threw that was shaped like blackboard rubber.
And on it went. The ONLY teacher I liked was Miss Moon in art class. She was kind to everyone. Even when she caught any of us smoking while outside drawing she merely took the cigarette away and stepped on it, then told us to hand over the packet.
Art was my favourite class.

They had a fair, swimming pools, skating rinks, all the things I never had back home until later in life. The food was good too.
It wasn't everybodys cup of tea but I loved it!
