Did you like it?

Absolutely destroyed me...with much help and along with other (health and family) factors that added to the distress of the whole 16 years.
All this did have an adverse affect on me for life like, and made me a bit grumpy and resentful if I'm TOTALLY honest, so I therefore make no apologies. Finger:

School was ok …all girls school and I was a bit of a swot  redface:

 6th form became mixed with the boys school next door and that was more fun coupled with the fact that I was the only one doing 1 of my A levels so I was just provided with the syllabus and told to get on with it. Hence had loads of free time which was great.

University however was a complete blast and the period I still count as the happiest in my life  cloud9:  ( so far  rubschin: )

Couldn't wait to get out of school. Each day was a race twixt me and the  teachers to see who could be out of the gates first. I suspected then and still feel they hated it as much as I did. Took O Levels early ... passed them to everyones's amazement (except mine). Father wanted me out to work to contribute to family income and said no to A levels.

SO

When it came time to leave for good ~ I was nowhere to be found as I had left 6 months before I should and was working in Fine Fare supermarket. There was a lot of trouble over that but Father had already decreed that "University wasn't for the likes of us" so I had signed on in the RAF and was just killing time until I was called up. 3 weeks after the shit hit the fan the call up papers arrived and I was off. Went home twice in the next five years. Once to see Mother and once to take my new wife to meet them.

Best day's work I ever did was leaving school and finding what I could do that suited me. RAF was prolly as good a "Higher" education (no pun intended but spotted none the less) as I was ever going to get without parental approval.

Don't worry, it doesn't show.  ;)


I found my years in education most entertaining and informative. It also provided many useful contacts for the real world later on.

I went to about 14 different schools.

At nursery and primary age it didn't make much difference.  It was just what happened.

In 1970 we moved to Malvern expecting to be there for the usual 2 year duration. When I moved up to senior school I loved it.  We ended up staying there for more than 2 years. In 1973 we moved to Northumberland and I hated the school I attended. Academically it was brilliant and TBH I think it was probably being taken away from my friends that was the problem.

My parents were unable to sell their property in Malvern so my sister and I along with my mother moved back. I returned to the school and my friends but it was not the same. sad24:  Things and people had of course moved on. I started my O level courses there, then bugger me the parents moved again. Off we went to Hampshire when I was 15.

Hated the school and my parents, again more to do with leaving friends and having to do the whole settling in again. I took my O' levels there but as there was no 6th form had to change once again. Went to college in Southampton  (a three hour commute every day) and did A' levels by which time I was done with education, I just could not face the thought of starting the whole thing all over again.  Left home at 17 and buggered off to London.

Off we went to Hampshire when I was 15.  Hated the school and my parents, again more to do with leaving friends and having to do the whole settling in again.

I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

You make an educated guess which one, given that I am fairly practical, enjoy being out of doors and find most politicians risible.  ::)

Rugby crossed my mind, but I quickly dismissed it (in your case)
