Thread: UK Primary schools in the early 50s

This may resonate with some of you gentlemen of advancing years,

I went to a Public School in the late 40s-50s, very public, every bastard went there!

When I look back , jesus H C,

Used to have bloody inkwells in the desk so that you could dip your scatchy nib and proceed to write, when the nib ground into the paper ink would splatter all over your page, then you would get a clip around the ear for being untidy!!!!

There was a 4 eyed Welsh twat called Baldwin, a callous coont, if you were misbehaving he would smack you on the back of your hand with 4 rulers, then you would have to write something, you couldn,t because your hand was numb, so he smacked you again, twat!!

Then we would have Nitty Nora (bug explorer) every year inspecting your head for lice , ring worm etc, if some poor buggar had something , he would arrive in school with his head shaven and a purple dye on his bonse,

One of my classmates was Smelly Kelly, he stunk of piss and shit, he used to wear an old raincoat, nothing underneath, came from a very poor family, went to his house once, no front door, windows missing,

For some they were hard days then,

Anybody got similar experiances

Nope.

School in the 40's loved it, locals went in the morning evacuees from London went in the afternoon, would get the odd boy go missing having blown himself up dismantling a Mortar bomb found on the Downs, would crawl through the barbed wire on the seafront to go for a swim, lucky for us the Canadian soldiers had cleared that bit of beach of mines so that they could also swim, saw a black man for the first time, a Canadian in the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards.
