`I went to the local grammar school. It was an all-girls' school, and we all had to wear uniform. That uniform! I really hated it! We had to wear white socks, white blouses, matching blue skirts and blazers, and one of those... you know... funny little hats. Ooh! And we had to wear ties, really! We didn't mix much with children from other schools. It was a bit snobbish, I suppose. The syllabus was very academic. We never did things like cookery or needlework. I was glad at the time but I wish they'd taught us a few... a few basics. I can't even make a decent omelette. I didn't like games, either - a lot of girls running round a hockey field on a freezing cold January afternoon. I hated it! Oh and another thing I regret... I wish the school had been co-educational. I was terribly shy of boys for a couple of years after I left school... simply because I hadn't met many.
