Ah ... you were clearly never treated to this delicacy!!

Which in reality was semolina... or tapioca... whichever it is that looks like frogspawn ... ugh

tapioca, yeah. Horrid stuff. All slimy and minging. It's like tiny frogspawn, yeah.

Ugh.

Ah' the wee bottles that manys a time in a severe winter (remember them?) would be frozen like a Jubilee, sometimes you were lucky and only the first inch was solid.

To say nothing of the outside toilets ........................ ye might remember :twisted:

Before anyone get's the wrong idea............the outdoor toilets were where the Olympic and World Championships were held at primary school-level...........to see who could pee the highest.


I remember the crate of milk just sitting outside the classroom, but for some strange reason the Teacher would always need reminding.

The infant school classes actually Paladin - F.U.N. it was :wink:

The galvanised steel milk crates remind me of my first day at school - which was a wet August morning in 19__ :roll: ............. and with the wooden floors buffed up so that you could see your face in them (if dry) the resulting water coming off boots & shoes created a wee bit of a hazard and of course your's truly slipped and split his head wide open on the sharp corner of the milk crate. The lovely teacher (a Mrs. McGibbon) doen some rudimentary first aid and off home I went.
These days there would be a judicial inquiry and a hefty claim lodged. I had a wee greet, got up, gave myself a shake ....... and screamed for my mammy :)
I think the latent effects of the injury are just kicking in noo ::):

Baby Boomers still Rule - OK?

There's still time to put a claim in for traumatic injuries, but you would need to concur..................that it was Primary Schoolthat you sustained this head injury...........mibbe not, perhap's we can play on the memory loss bit?

After the fall, the Primary School became the Infant School. I think there is a lot of potential here..........my client went on to think he was John Wayne in later years.

No win, no fee Captain.

I had the distincy 'honour' of being a dinner monitor, which meant i took the dinner ticket or clipped it if you had a five day one, and let you up for your pudding when you where finished. I got sacked the day someone smacked the head of geography in the eye with a totty. I didnt grass.
Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt?

Second thoughts...........had an informal interview with the other side (Mrs. McGibbon)......who said that the young man who bumped his head on the milk crate was trying to turn the floor into a Grease - like slide.

Mrs McGibbon also said that the same young man used to flick the peas off the side of his dinner plate at the teachers.

Tottie ballers...they used to ball the totties beforehand and put them on the green plates, so that when you got them there was a kind of hard skin crusty thing going on.....apart from that and the semolina school chuck was ok i can remember queing in the dinny seconds line on several occasions...infact most days....fish cakes with no fish just an aroma of fish..

I remember being offered the delicacy of 'Spaghetti Hoop' pie. It was a base of shortcrust pastry, smothered with the formidable hoops, cut into squares for our dining pleasure.

I just remember everything that had to be sliced, was always cut into squares.

My favourie custard was the chocolate - well, brown custard, with the luvverly caramel shortcake, covered with the chocolate hundreds&thousands...
