3: School’s out

Today’s episode is about school and a little about hard luck – negotiating the slings and arrows of a boarding school in the nineties, and finding the humour in all of it. Features:

• Some background notes on what school is really for
• The story of a duckling, a Vauxhall Viva, and the deep irony of trying to do the right thing but making things much, much worse
• An examination of a really, really big nose, and how (strangely) it was excluded from the bullying canon
