Re: Re: Re: Re: Small World

I remember Miss Giles, also Mrs Fordie(especially the slaps!). Mr Thomas used to have a red? sports car and when my family moved to Southall with just my last term to go he was good enough to give me lifts to school every day as he came from that direction. I remember the air raid shelters - great for running up & over the humps. Also the games we had crazes for at breaks - remember taking Corgi/Dinky cars and all lining up along one edge of the playground to see whose could roll the furthest? And flicksies - nearest to flick a tea card against the wall (days before bubble gum was invented I think!). Marbles was a perennial favourite & as my dad worked in engineering I always had a good supply of steel ball bearings - they'd probably be confiscated now as potentially dangerous missiles. Happy days...
