One thing we learnt at school I remember, we had to learn German. It was brought in as part of the curriculum. I don’t think the teacher knew any German. I remember a German coming into the classroom, and the only German I can remember now is the fact that I can count up to 20. I could go on a little bit further, but not much more, and that’s about the only German I remember, apart from ‘nicht furst stein’ which was our answer when we were asked anything by a German — ‘We don’t understand’, ‘We don’t know’.
