Mr. Gleave was a bit harsh on me when he heard I was going to emigrate to Canada. I'd just done poorly on a math test, and he singled me out by saying "And YOU want to go to Canada?" He repeated this several times, much to my discomfort. I can see now that he had a wry sense of humour (even when giving me the bat!) but back then I was too sensitive to see that.

On a brighter note: Kaylai (sp?) in a paper bag to dip my fingers in and lick.
Necklaces made of little candies on an elastic string. You could wear it around your neck and eat 'em. Aniseed balls. And that most forbidden of all: chewing gum! (My mum said it was filthy stuff, made of horses' hooves)
