"Did you ever pay attention in school?".. what a silly attempt at being patronising...

.. but yes thanks...

I was one of the council estate kids who passed the 11 plus..
At Grammar School I learned much to my academic benefit and personal development from the good teachers..

.. and also learnt much about human nature from observing and being humiliated & clouted by the sadistic right wing bully teachers..
[one of those teachers was years later arrested for boy buggering..]

thanks for reminding me... ah school summer holidays... lollies and snogging girls...
