School Assemblies
Our school assemblies were often presided over by the local vicar, who once warned us of the dreadful dangers of mixing with "Rods and Mockers". One of the cool teachers laughed. Tell us about mad headteachers and assemblies gone wrong.

Once a year, my old school gathered in the town hall for speech day
It was the only occasion on which the school song was sung. This was a dreary old anthem, only enlivened by the fact that you could sing alternate lyrics...so at the end of every chorus, instead of a rousing "Service to the living, honour to the dead", the entire school (and a fair few teachers and pre-warned parents) would sing in unison: "Service to the living, bollocks to the head".
It was particularly obvious as "honour" really doesn't end with a "cks" sound.

I think I was less obvious.
