Ah well, that'll be your decent education 'Daisybell', you got all the good teachers.

I belong to a time when girls weren't allowed to wear coloured bras under their blouses and had to have the skirts measured to see how many inches they were above the knee...

I went to the worst school in my district, despite passing my 11 plus, because I was desperate to go to the same school as my brother. My brother had failed his 11 plus because...er....he was dyslexic, but no-one knew about it back then...you were just 'slow and dimwitted', according to some, which always puzzled me, as he was never that at all, still isn't.

That's what I mean, about the 13 GCSEs, which is lovely, don't get me wrong, but....my brother could never have coped with that, indeed, none of us ever did, because it was practically unheard of to take more than 8 in those days...if that....but Educayshon wasn't a Corporate Business back then...just a weird place where people measured your skirt lengths...

Coloured bras, eh...Yeesh, am I old or WHAT! I can remember when they first came out! Oh, B***er!   :0)
