Re: You were educated?
I started at the nursery school at three, in 1938, singing nursery rhymes with Miss Dawes, a lovely teacher, She used to sit me on her knee and give me a cuddle against her busoms. lovely memory . or Mamory. The germans started a war and so Miss Dawes joined the WRNS. I saw her once on a parade in town, looking fantastic in her uniform, I was 5 then, I swore I would join the Navy and find her. Never saw her again.
1940 the school was closed down as a ARP ost, so we were transferred to another school, over 60 in a class, most of us had to sit outside in the corridor with the classroom door open. All the regular teachers disappeared into the Forces and old retired teachers took their place. They were not interested in the job, so me and my gang played hooky every day, no one missed us, we were up on the moors in summer or in my house or Cloggers house in cold wet days.We would be ouit all day collecting shrapnel and bullets and tail fins off bombs. When the plane crasherd into a house across the road our gang were first on the scene, A dead woman inside the house and a dead german pilot sat in the plane with flames licking around it, we dragged the planes wing, with machine gun bullets hanging out of it, down the rubble and we were going to take it home, The Police Firemen and ARP came and took it off us. We didn't get much sleep during the war with the air raids,in the Anderson shelter most nights, cold and damp, then one night a Big Bang the earth shook and bounced us out of our bunks , A bomb in town had hit a transport Café my mother was in, she ran outside when the whistling was heard, everyone was killed and mother was thrown across the road and hit the church railings almost going through like slice bread. We went to find her next day and she was underneath the rubble, injured but still alive.
At the age of 11 I could not read and write, but I knew how to snare rabbits on the moors and skin and cook them on an open fire.
Secondary school wsnt too much good, The teachers were ex military who hade been demobbed, these guys were killers. they had been killing germans and japs a year before and they were turned loose on us.
I left school, got an apprentice job at De Havillands Aircraft works, and then sacked, Got a job down the Pit, Brackley Colliery for six months didn't like it so worked in a cotton mill for another six months then went to the Vindi.
My education started there.
That's all folks
Brian.

Re: You were educated?
Brian.. ref leading seawoman Dawes believe she was torpedoed by Flying Officer Kite when you were 10. You almost had it made. Giving that it was sometimes around the age of 11 that some got the urge for better things out of life, although some may have been earlier as were more promiscuous, you must have just missed by a *annys hair. No wonder people used to say lock up your daughters when the fleet was in. Seems to be a lack of young ladies on the streets of Rockingam lately. Has your mate told them you are coming over?? Regards don't forget to pack the seasick tablets. John S.

Not surprised you failed the entrance exam at 'grammer' school John. Or was that a touch of irony?

Re: You were educated?
My education, or a better word, brainwashing began at the age of 5 when my parents sent me to a catholic infants school. The teachers were nuns who beat religion into us with bamboo canes. Soon all childhood innocence was lost as anything you said or thought could be a sin.
This continued in junior school but thankfully no more nuns. By the time I arrived in senior school I knew all about religion but very little about anything else. The last years until 15 gave just enough education to provide the next generation of labourers.
I made a promise to myself that if I ever had children they would know absolutely nothing about religion. A promise I kept. If they wanted to follow that path as adults that is fine with me.
Later I was lucky enough to have the best education ever with men I looked up to and respected. Proud to be one of them.
