School Sports DayAt some point in the distant past, someone at my school had built a large concrete tank behind the sheds and called it a swimming pool. Proud of this, they had a "Swimming Sports Day" in which everyone had to participate, even those who couldn't swim (they got to walk across the shallow end of the tank).
This would probably have been OK if the pool hadn't turned a deep opaque green the night before due to lack of maintainance. Even the school sports stars didn't want to go near the gloopy mess in the pool. We were practically pushed in. I'm sure some of the younger kids never surfaced again and the non-swimmers looked petrified.
Tell us your sports day horrors.

Wet School DaysI was lucky(!) enough to get a grant to go to a rather nice public school, despite being an oik. One sports day my mum came along and on the walk down to the sports field, we had to pass by the army cadeds asault course when my mum decided she needed a piss. So of course, over she wondered and as happy as you can be, dropped her knickers, squatted over one the assualt course tyres and did her business. I lost the 100m as well.
