School on Strike
It was 1986 I would have been 10 years old and at that time striking was in everyone’s nature in the west of Scotland. Football had recently been banned (again) at school because someone had accidentally put the ball through the staffroom window and after a few days it hadn’t, as was usually the case been reinstated – enough was enough and at lunch time we went on strike. Primary’s 4 through 7 (we kept the young ones out it) didn’t go back to class instead we sat on a wall and sung some songs, we shall not be moved was one such song a song about the smelly kid and bizarrely the chicken song, someone had even gone to the trouble of getting the words printed out. It was a nice day it lasted 30 minutes football was reinstated and we all got printouts of the chicken song as mementos.
