many years ago
a miniature version of me was at boarding school. Now there was a very Us vs Them attitude between pupils and staff. and many entertaining adventures were had, but we always used to pull all the stops out for April Fools day. one year this involved two dormitories of 14 boys having an all out pillow fight, an attempt to carry several sets of sleeping boys in their bunk beds from another dormitory out to set their dormitory up in the garden. plus a party with underage drinking out in the local graveyard at four in the morning.

This of course all went down really badly, with threats of expulsion, and promises extracted that we would never do similar again.

So the Next April rolls around, and there is much staff paranoia that we will do something remarkably stupid, so what did we do? we set a broken alarm clock that didn't ring up as if it would go off at 3:30 in the morning,

So the staff spent the night sleeping on airbeds in the entrance of the building and on the fire escape in the cold, while we lay there all night chuckling to ourselves and sleeping in nice warm beds

Must've made a change from soggy biscuit.

We had the same Us Vs Them attitude at my school.
One year, I put together a "Which teacher are you" quiz. You wouldn't have believed the results!
