Not so much a lieas not passing on full information.
As a a sixth former at school, I helped administer the school network. The fact this meant I had free access to everything (headmaster's files can be very interesting...) is a separate story.
Anywho, as a thank you from the school I got given free lunches with the moneyless card system the school has. I forgot to inform my parents of this, which resulted in £10 beer money a week. Score!

Prices were the samewhen it changed over. Only thig was that the little kids were pissed off that they couldn't use their pocket money to go to the sweet shop before school, cos their parents wrote cheques to put credit on the account. Hahaha.

nah, the extortion at my schoolwas that you could only top up with 50 pees and £1 coins, as well as notes (£10 and £20 only), so no matter how hard you tried, you couldnt spend it all.

The automated machinewhere people could top their cards up carried on breaking. The entire system ran over the network, so I went down to try and reboot / fix it once.
I opened it up with the key, peered inside, and realised that the entire thing was built on breakboard, save for a bit of networking stuff. A dry joint was causing the problem.
Retart start up company. Lowest bidder = shitty products.

Heh!My money making scam was to use ink remover and a stamp nicked from the corner shop to make my monthly bus pass work for 2 more months before the cardboard started to disintegrate. Meant I had snout money for 2 months out of 3.

in the teachers strike in the 80sthe teachers refused to do any work which was outside their job description. This included collecting dinner money. We had to drop it into a jar "on trust."
Trust an 8 year old with £2? You've got to be joking.
The trick was to drop 10p in the pot to make a jangling noise.
Every Monday after school there was a queue of kids outside the sweet shop buying liquorice shoe laces and fruit salads.
