[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 445529, member: 1408"] Neither did I Phil ...and calculators were in the distant future . Even Dan Dare didn't have one . You have now reminded me of the dread of the Maths lesson which began at primary school . Aged about 8. Every day without fail , the teacher would ask in turns , (in pre-metric money remember) such things as how many tuppenny three farthing buns can I buy for £1 -17shillings & fourpence halfpenny ? You boy ,... come on !!! come on !!!! Right!!! stand out front to be ridiculed with the other useless idiots. Or even better at age 11 , the cane for singing off key . " You boy !!! You're singing out of tune " "I know Miss, I can't sing" Obviously after one stroke of the cane ...there I was ..just like Pavarotti . "If you think its tough here boy ..wait till you move up to the big school ....you've 'ad it easy 'ere you 'orrible little erks ....I wouldn't like to be in your shoes in the new term you won't know whats 'it you , you 'orrible lot !!!! Nothing like some fatherly encouragement as you leave primary school is there. ? [/QUOTE]
