I remember a time, when I was around 15, getting caught in a Physics class muttering under my breath that the teacher was “a silly old cow”, or words to that effect. I obviously got sent out of the class, straight to the deputy headmaster, Mr Griffiths, who was a lot scarier than the head. Mum was called in to the school to answer for my behaviour, and her response direct to Mr Griffiths, in front of me, was along the lines of “Well, maybe she is…”! I didn’t know where to look!
