Re: creeping americanisation
in 1999 we went to Drayton Manor then some went camping and had a few beers (unofficially of course).
In 2001 we went for a leavers meal with the staff, then we all went onto a club. Quote:
It's all just forcing kids to try and grow up sooner. Why not do kiddy things like going to a theme park. We all know that year 11's and sixth formers probably drink, but schools shouldn't be sanctioning it. Half the fun was trying to sneak the stuff in. |

Re: creeping americanisation
This seems to be as good a place as any for this particular little rant...
It's 'got'. Regardless of context. You 'got' drunk. You have 'got' to get here. We have gone and 'got' ourselves lost. Anyone not from the USA that uses that bast@rdisation 'gotten' on here risks having their thumb snapped off with a ring spanner. Stop it! Now! Last edited by JamesMio; 14-07-11 at 06:53 PM. |

Re: creeping americanisation
ours was a p*** up that included the staff.
We drank ourselves daft as we could at the bar rates 6 year ago (£3.50 a pint)

Still, well done for spelling americanisation with an s, not a z. My pet hate is having to constantly add words to the dictionary on my browser because it underlines anything that isn't spelled the American way. And, while I'm ranting, colour has a u in it, as does honour, valour etc, etc |

Re: creeping americanisation
I left school in 1978 - we didn't have a prom or a disco, we had a fight with the rival school in the next village.
