Eh, you were lucky t' have sliderule. We used to dream of havin' a sliderule. Would ha' been a supercomputer to us.

We use to use balls of cow dung strung along a bit o' sheep's gut. All sharin' it in a class of 1700 sat at one desk (well, we called it a desk, but t' were really just a piece o' roofing tin restin' on two bricks), all in a shoebox in t' middle of the road.

Aye, and you try and tell the young people of today that...they won't believe you.

Cheers,
A Yorkshireman

Yeah and you walked to school barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways and carried your lunch (a dried up biscuit) in a gallon molasses bucket. I know. Been there, done that. But it's true!

I once had to rebuff the chauffer for taking the corner next to the academy too sharply, causing me to spill my rum and cola.

Did that (Except the gallon molasses, and I was allowed shoes(I think)), 3 mile walk at age 4-6 to infant school!!!

Didn't walk to school but many times I had to go to school barefoot because I had left my shoes on the school buss the previous day.

I grew up in the north-east of Scotland. Can't imagine ever taking my shoes off in the bus. Unless they were stolen from off your feet of course, which I could envision happening in some areas where I've lived....

You had bat guano?!? You're so lucky; we had only imaginary guano.
