Broomloan Rd. School Govan,remember the great lunches, milk at your desk, great custards. We were poor, but no-one went hungry at school... changed days.
We amused ourselves on the streets at the tenements, kick the can, peevers, ropes and chasing after the rag man. Then onto Govan High. We wore uniforms, boys and girls were in separate classes.The strap (soaked in vinegar) was the thing to avoid. There was plenty of discipline in class. But we still managed to take a rise or two out of the teachers, n a fun way.
