    Totally random, keeping busy and getting some fresh air activities that needed doing anyway. 


    I have vacuumed my wife's car this afternoon and found a pork pie that was best before the 28/12/19 under the drivers seat that I presume fell out of a Christmas shopping bag.


    Going under the passenger seat of my van was more productive, I took the van in for a MOT on Wednesday and there was an advisory that that one of the tyres was a bit thin on the edge, so I decided to swap it for the spare. When I went under the seat to get the jack out I found two and a half toilet rolls.


    Win some, lose some!

    Winner - Probably worth more than the van


    You could advertise the rolls for £7K and throw in a free van

    First off, I have reported Ebee to miss!


    OK, I had the cane many times, came back from my playground, Regents Park, I had to climb back over the BIG gates... told to see the headmaster, guess what for... I was standing there - and I thought... "it wouldn't make any difference if I just left" haha, and so I climbed back over the BIG gates and went back to my playground, haha... Regents Park!


    At my secondary skulle.., (actually I got A+ for my spillling),  there was a teacher called Mr Schofield.., in the chem lab, and he used to take a huge run from one end to where we'd be... with the cane!!! I think he was removed at some point? In the woodwork dept; there was Mr Foot, he used to put my hair, (when I had loads ?), hahaha, into a bench vice... imagine that today??? IF, my dad had found out... Mr Foot would have been eating hospital food, (through a straw!).


    I hope everyone's coping and that that pie wasn't thrown away as remember... there are people starving all over the world, (like ME),


    Good luck to all...

    Only Boys got the cane.

    Girls were called by their first name and boys by their last name.

    This was normal.

    Actually, coincidentaly agood job ref boys names as by chance in junior school 28 in class, 14 boys and 14 girls, 7 of the 14 boys had the same(mine)  first name, I think it was one of those alternating names popular/unpopular so to speak. Year above and year below did not have same problem.

    Back then if you got caned or slippered by the teacher or swiped by the copper you did not tell your parents cos they`d wallop you as well. Happy days.

    We had respect (sometimes based on fear I`ll admit) in those days. Unlike todays monsters!

    Ohh  Clive, I suspect you know that is my pen name really, it`s derived from a nickname some plumbers gave me a few years back E.B. for short.


    My real first name is ordinary like David, Peter, John etc

    Hello, David Peter John etc... errrrr... my guess is, and it's only a 'guess', you understand is... the 'E' stands for 'electrician?' BUT, here's the BIG question, (ahem...), what did the 'B' stand for???? Could it be... 'Biggus?' ?
