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
