philmayfield 6,144 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 When I was at primary school some of the rich kids had elocution lessons to learn them ow to talk propper. We couldn’t afford those so I just copied the way the posh kids spoke and got elocuted for free! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You were lucky.  For some of us, it was plimsolls in summer, wellies in winter. Not easy to run to the outside toilets in wellies, but at least you could warm your feet if you didn’t get there  quickly enough. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Rob, I can go one better than that and it's perfectly true. When about 10 years old there were a couple of us kids who only had wellies. In summer you rolled them down, in winter left up. When they got too tight the toe fronts were cut off !!, then they worn like sandals. I remember having some hand me downs and I thought they were the bees knees, Black sneakers with studs, Great ! Until I got to school and some bird said " Why are you wearing girls Netball Boots"? I was devastated... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
