Another DRIFT story:
I was teaching at a school in Stevenage in the mid-60s, when the then Pope said that Friday Abstinence need no longer be observed. One Friday, a Catholic boy on my table [I even remember his name, John Bonja (not Bon Jovi!)] went to the hatch to get the fish course that the kitchen ladies would always obligingly prepare on Fridays for the few RC pupils.
"You know, John," I said to him, "the Pope has said that you don't have to eat fish on Fridays any longer."
"Never mind the Pope, sir," he rejoined; "it's my mum!"
