What do I remember about my infant school-days?
They began in 1952, the year of the Coronation. I vaguely remember a street party and being given a mug "
I was four and in the nursery,
I remember a huge rocking horse which we all clambered upon and played "Gee up popo" for ages![]()
It was deemed that every day we should all have an afternoon nap so a 'nurse' came round and popped us under a blanket in a fold-up bed
.
We had free milk and cod liver oil capsules at break time and if you were lucky you would have a little snack in your bag.
I don't recall there being many snacks in mine, we were so poor that mam had all on putting three square meals on the table ... what I do remember is the absolute shame I felt when one day it was discovered that I had eaten another girl's banana 
I don't remember this too well (just the shame) but bananas were an absolute luxury in those days and I was only four.
The disgrace was so bad that it penetrated my core and I couldn't be a thief now even if I was so inclined as the risk of getting caught would be too much to bear

They only told you it was Cod Liver Oil....
It was obviously something else that caused you to try and hide a banana in your ear..

Actually that is really cute
