Truancy and the Curry Club

[Mick Mac]

Yes - I went to a catholic school - there was no way out - high walls all around. Any misbehaviour provoked an overreaction.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I used to bunk off quite regularly. Would go down to the river and watch coal being unloaded. Underestimated beauty in coal!

[bigbadwolf]

I see.

[antijen]

I often went down to the disused railway, light a fire, have a smoke (courtesy of teachers), oh these carefree days.

[bigbadwolf]

Did you go to school in the Netherlands Jen or some other liberal, outside the box thinking nation i.e Switzerland?

Switzerland? Liberal?? Hah!

Have you ever been, BBW?

[bigbadwolf]

Yes, twice.

They have the most bizarre firearms laws in Europe. I don't think I've ever seen someone walking around a supermarket with their kids with an automatic weapon slung over their shoulder in any other country in Europe.

[antijen]

No BBW, I should say I was expelled eventually, so they werent that liberal. I believed liberty was there for the taking.

[bigbadwolf]

Beautiful country though.

Yes.

I like to think of it as the Japan of Europe.

Although I've yet to come across Japanese homes with a Nuclear Bunker built in as standard, as seems to be the case in Switzerland.

Every home should have one!
