    I remember societies at school. Wednesday afternoons were given over to activities that is until the exam results dipped and the headmaster banned them. Even after that the school choir and the operatic society carried on as after school clubs. Each year
    we put on  a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. The music teacher was Musical Director and the elocution teacher ( yes we had one of those) was the producer. Those were some of my best times at school along with the sports activities, playing in the football and
    cricket teams and running for the school at the  annual interschool athletics event. Happy days

    Yep I've been in both Pinafore and The Mikado. In fact I played Koko in the Japanese thing and I had a little list.

    They never gave us pizzas in the school dinners as far as I can remember. It was always meat and two veg followed by pudding.

    I remember when the local council used to grit the roads. They were very icy this morning and not a speck of grit to be seen.
