Sarah Wise Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Who remembers scratching out their 1st engraving jobs on these then?!! (I can actually still smell those school desks, and feel the old chewing gum stuck underneath and the varnish that slowly got picked off over the years!! Hands covered in ink at the end of the day and somebody's decomposing banana skin under the lid! ) Mike at Vauxhall and Gray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 I remember those. I was an ink monitor and handed out those useless pens with useless nibs. But I remember more about around the back of the bike sheds for a quick fumble and a fag.. kobblers and Mike at Vauxhall 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Better than me mate, never sat my exams, I was already working full time by that point. I Could have possibly had 5+ o Levels but gave up learning once i started working at 14. Worked out well for me in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 In primary school I was thumped hard on the back by the headmaster for writing Left Handed, and was forced to write, right handed. When my Mum found out, she took no prisoners. Made me very Ambidextrous though, great for engraving. I nearly ripped my left hand off in my finisher & also shattered my left shoulder during my time in business these early lessons at least meant it was business as usual. I could write on those tables upside down without even looking at what I was writing. I never married her though. kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
