PE = Possible Emergency
Deciding that the field was too wet to play rugby, due to the teacher being Welsh (Mr Jones - you didn't see that coming) it seemed to be the only outdoor sport he wanted to teach, we moved into the sports hall to try something different........the high jump. We were taught to try and jump over the bar with both feet together and land on your back/arse on the wafer thin 'crash mat', I can still hear the comment "try not to hurt yourself" as he encouraged the first person in the queue to give it a go. Needless to say there were a few injuries that day.
We also had to club together a cricket team for a match on a Friday evening, we weren't very good at cricket, the other team was. They batted first and piled on the runs, after finally ending their innings the PE teacher in charge of us gave us some encouraging words, "hurry up and get out, i'm supposed to be going out tonight". I think we scored about 30. He was happy.
