PE LessonsFor some they may have been the highlight of the school week, but all we remember is a never-ending series of punishments involving inappropriate nudity and climbing up ropes until you wet yourself.
Tell us about your PE lessons and the psychotics who taught them.

The loaner kitEvery school has one, and woe betide anyone who forgets their own kit. On a good day you're sent to pick litter from the school field, which is actually preferable to P.E. even if it's a bit like doing community service.
On a bad day you get the loaner kit. I only knew one kid in our year who got it. He was ginger and his name was Daniel Benson. The loaner kit was a burgundy (nice colour clash with his hair) sweatshirt, felicitously named since it was never washed and was soaked in cold, stale, congealed sweat from tens of previous deodorant-dodging 13 year olds.
But that's not all. Many years after the brief CB radio craze in the United Kingdom, this garment sported the slogan, in reflective silver italics:
"What's your handle?"
To give Daniel credit, he actually wore it with a little panache and tried to make a joke of it. I doubt he ever got the smell out of his skin though.
