Don't start...I'm not in the mood! Shouldn't you be re-decorating your new flat, or testing wall sockets by sticking your fingers in them, or something?

Why would I want to do that? I hate peaches - especially tinned peaches!

Most of the schools round here are either high schools or colleges. My old school is now an arts college. No surprise there really the school has always been renowned for its drama and arts. Even in my day. The grammar schools are still very much geared towards getting their students to university.

I wouldn't mind going back there to have a look round. I've never stepped foot in that school since i left. I do see my old careers teacher from time to time. She told me not to take up hairdressing as there is no future innit. Long hours poor wages etc etc. I reminded her of what she said when she delivered the parish magazine to my salon. I didn't gloat though, because she appeared genuinely pleased that i proved her wrong. It makes feel awful now for the horrid things i called her in school.

I hope she wasn't the recipient of the holiday cockroaches through the letterbox.

Tsk.

You can't be that old if you sat GCSEs. Some of us have bona fide O levels.

My brother done GCSE's and he is 43 now. I done CSEs and o levels i'm 37. then in 87/88 it must have changed back to GCSEs.
Not suggesting for one minute that scroogey could be in the over 40 bracket.

Well said, Sir.

If I'd have come along much earlier, I'd have had to matriculate!

So long as it's in private, fine.

So why was it called 'Joint Matriculation' then, huh?

Because anyone who'd want to do it with you would have to be stoned.

I'm glad you confirmed your jealousy, Sput, as always. Bless - acid on the rose petals (as always). You tease!
