Let’s all go to Tesco’s, where Sir gets his best clothes….

Long before Tesco’s sold decent clothes.

Anyone from my school can still sing the school song based on the Latin motto.

Aviri · 05/12/2025 20:33

I think I know that! Is it the one that goes "you're going home in a fucking ambulance"?

This was chanted every day by all the school children as we left the bus carrying us back to school in the lunch hour

We break up
We break down
We don't care if school falls down
No more English
No more French
No more sitting on the old school bench.

Sung when school broke up for holidays.

I wrapped it up in a five pound note and this is what I said said said
My name is Elvis Presley,

Was that before or after the Barmy Army adopted it?

Draw a stick figure on the palm of one hand, and a scribbled mess on the other.
(show stick figure) This is Maggie Thatcher,
(mime) Throw her up and catch her.
(Rub hands together) Squishy Squashy, Squishy, Squashy.
(show scribbled mess hand) There goes Maggie Thatcher.

It was the 80s.

Hitler has only got one ball, the other is in the albert hall, his mother, the dirty bugger cut it off when he was small.
she threw it over an apple tree, it landed in to the deep blue sea… can’t remember the rest

No more days of school
No more days of sorrow
No more days in this old dump
Cos we'll be off tomorrow

Build a bonfire, build a bonfire
Put the school on the top
Put the teachers in the middle
And burn the bloomin' lot

Primary school aged about 9/10 in early 70s

My friend Billy had a 10 foot willy.
Showed it to the girl next door.
She thought it was a snake,
So she hit it with a rake,
And now its only 4 ft 4.
