Wow someone else who failed, I thought I was the only person in the entire world to fail it – even really thick kids left with their 25m swimming certificate and their cycling proficiency even if they failed all their GCSEs!
It was a copper who taught ours, he called BMXs ‘bedroom bikes’ and took a dislike to me because he thought my bike was too big for me and I was a loose cannon. At the end of the course he told me my number was up and he’d had enough of me and my renegade ways – at least that’s the way I remember it – it was 25 years ago so they might not have been quite the words he used!
