I've wondered about the songs we sang on the bus. Especially the ones that were based on the town or local people.
Edit: Thinking about games played in the playground, I've remembered one of the blokes in my primary school who has always been and still is quite camp. From the first day of school he only played with the girls and didn't like sports.
I remember the school got remade completely and with it, we got a load of things like jump-ropes, footballs and frisbees to play with if the teachers opened the bunkers. It seemed completely random when they would do it, not just very nice days or once a week, just when they remembered we had them.
The same thing always happened, girls were given jump-ropes and boys were given footballs. The first few times said Bloke from earlier grabbed a jump-rope and happily went off with his female friends. I remember one time, this would have been around age 8/9, they opened the bunker of toys and when he went to get a jump-rope and they told him, "No, grab a football and play with the boys." This went on for, I think, a couple of weeks. I even remember over-hearing some teachers talking about how "queer" it was he wanted to do girly games. Two teachers came out and made sure he was playing with the boys and not just hanging out, he was being made to play football or wrestle in the dirt or whatever they thought young boys did. If he went over to the girls he got told off for doing girly things.
I think after a while they noticed forcing him to hang out with the boys just led to the boys ignoring him or at worse, taking the mick out of him and Bloke was miserable and missed his friends. So the teachers just stopped coming outside or if they did, they didn't get involved.
Yes, this was a rather Catholic school.
Actually looking back on this now it'd have been nice if they put their misguided efforts into helping the children who weren't included into any playground activities at all, rather than what they were trying to do with Bloke.
