At Stanley Street School, we had to do gas mask drill sat at our desks. I hated every minute of having that horrible smelly rubber mask on my face, I have hated the smell of rubber ever since. It was hot and clammy with that thing stuck on your face, most kids hair was wet through with sweat.

It was at this school that I got into a fight and the teacher by the name of Miss Royal sent me to see the headmistress up in the crows nest, this is where her office was.
I knock on the door 鈥淐ome in鈥�, so I goes in and see this little woman, she had thick rubbery lips and short curly hair but not unattractive, no smile. 鈥淲hat have you been doing鈥�
鈥淚 got into a fight, they attacked me first Miss Sturburtfield鈥�
鈥淚 will not tolerate fighting in this school, do you understand?鈥�
鈥淵es Miss Sturburtfield鈥�
鈥淗old your hand out鈥� and she gets a size 9 slipper out of her cupboard and slaps me across the palm of my hand, it just felt as if a fly had tickled me. 鈥淵ou can go now鈥�. The others in the fight never had to go and see her, now that鈥檚 a bit one sided. There was another teacher at that school called Miss Campbell, she was much nicer and gave me a present of Blackpool Tower, I kept that present and I still have it somewhere in the house.
