If Labour wants to stay in power for the next election, they sure as hell better bring about proportional representation, because with the rise of the everything right now, this might be it for them

Finally, some actual training for something useful!

that snowman had it coming, and, from what I hear, so did Jimmy Saville

Oh shit yeah, I forgot about all the fucking shoe polish. Nice you got to fly an actual plane

drinking and drugs

I mean, if I know my pilots…

Kids taking a keen interest in their own education should always be praised, and I salute you and your three remaining fingers.

Did the tea’s survive?

Oh nice! And yeah grammar school

How close were you to the plane?

Did you keep up with the flying or anything later in life?

Yep, sounds about right

Hah yeah, I came to same revelation

The trips were definitely fun, and the guns were kinda fun (You spend most of the time getting mud out of the barrel every time you sat down)

I can’t shoot for shit, though am decent with bow and arrow.

ROTC

Is that for 15 year olds too?

What are the state school ones? Never heard of anything parallel to the CCF

Did you ever feel like you were missing out? Or were those kids seen as a bit different or something

Its been around for a while, but I can see where you’re coming from and do think its a weird tradition to impress onto young kids

Lmao! Still, isn’t it a bit weird? Not many schools do it over here, and it’s seen as chivalric knighthood quiet patriotism thing, instead of a funnel for the armed forces.

Regular state school kids aren’t told to go to the army until they’re out of school

“…mh…food of the gods”

I just had a can of these! 85p, 4x cheaper than their fancier glass-vareity brethren. Stick em in a microwave for a minute, and that’s a lunch right there.

Growing up, Wagon Wheels used to be my secret pleasure, but I’ve gone off them the last few years - just not that chocolatey or creamy.

I currently love going to a chicken shop. For a while I lived in a country without one, but those dark days are gone now.
