colly0410 1,181 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 We were singing a hymn in assembly, I was at the front as it went in size order & I was the smallest in the class: a lad further back had a gormless look on his face & I was laughing at him. I then noticed that Pot Leg Bill (Mr Baines the headmaster) was looking at me, I then tried to look innocent. When the hymn finished Pot Leg said "a boy over there (pointing in my direction) seems to find something funny at the back!" I knew he meant me & smirked, he then launched himself towards me & smacked me straight round my left tab. The whole school burst out laughing. It didn't really hurt but I went bright red with embarrassment & I wanted the floor to swallow me... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AfferGorritt 868 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I had names for several of my teachers - none of which I could post on here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I'm with you A G. most of the nicknames were, at best, somewhat derogatory. I don't want to insult their memories. They had enough to put up with trying to teach us lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
