# in the teachers strike in the 80s
the 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.
