Tina, your story brought back memories of my school hat! We used to walk to school wearing our felt hat (winter) or boater (summer) and we had to walk through a narrow cutting with a "no cycling" sign. One day, not wearing my hat, I was passed by Mrs Williams, riding her cycle. As she went past she clipped me on the back of the head with a ruler/stick/something or other and said "get that hat on girl!" I nearly got detention when she found out I was telling all my friends about it (and her riding her bike in the no cycling cutting) but she just gave me a telling off instead.

Other than that I was quite a good girl. We did have one teacher, however, an ex-Dambusters pilot, who used to throw chalk at us if we were chatting and the wooden chalk rubber if he had to say it twice! lol
