We were not meant to put stuff in blazer pockets' we had one teeny pocket we were meant to use big enough for a locker key, and a bit of cash, but not much.

I don't recall ever being frisked, but individuals were certainly asked to turn out their pockets sometimes, with often very amusing results.

At the end of fifth form, many in the year would assemble on the field, put their caps in a pile, squirt lighter fluid on them and engage in a ceremonial burning. Maybe ties were included, but I can't remember.

We got to wear real clothes in 6th form, if we were rich enough, because that meant a suit. Most of us continued with the blazer option.

Locker key had to be worn on a shoelace round the neck. Pursebelt with an emergency £1 (which I'd invariably spent on 20p doughnuts and had to walk the 5 miles home if I lost my buspass)

I seem to recall reading that (yet again,after the war) , librarians and primary teachers turned away from Enid Blyton's Noddy books not because of the crass imagery of anybody who looked different, but because he was spineless. His main response to every problem was to cry until Big-ears solved it, and they saw this as a pathetic role model.:rotfl:

My recollection from the time is that Noddy was banned for:
1] Driving under age/without a license
2] Being homosexual as he slept with big ears
3] Lack of authority being shown towards the police
4] Racial issues re the golliwog

Poor cold dh has asked for this

But with bacon and syrup. And yes, he can eat enough food to serve four to six people. As i type the mixture has grown bigger than my griddle pan. I can see a lot of mess resulting any moment now. I thought griddle pans were a fairly standard size, but if the amount versus pan size is any thing to go by jamie's griddle pan is at least twoce and possibly four times the size of mine.

Yes, plop, put of the pan on to the hob.

Welldone. Little and often. Keep warm, warm extremities do make a difference to how your musculature relaxes.

I've never actually had a waffle.... nothing against them - I'd even choose to eat them... I've just never been anywhere where they were on offer to eat - and I'd not randomly decide to make them myself. I've also not got/never had/never used a griddle pan.

They do look nice

Jamie's pan WILL be 2-4x the size of yours because .... Jamie Oliver is one chubby bloke!

And look at that recipe.... it wants SR flour ... I binned mine yesterday.

I prefer birds eye potato waffles, as they are waffley versatile.
