I was a bit of a swot and very quiet until about 3rd year (not sure what that equates to in today's money). In 4th year I grew taller and lost puppy fat and became much more confident. In 5th year I was a womanising show off who spent lunch breaks in the girls' powder room - with their consent of course. I was hoisted out a few times by irate female teachers. I thought I was the top comedian too - "entertaining" the pupils and teachers alike with my observations and anecdotes.
If I could observe myself in 5th year mode today, I'd say I was a right arrogant ****t!
I like to think I have mellowed over the years and become a more pleasant, less grating person.
It was fun though back then. I never, ever wagged school...
posh boy!
