I've got another 20 -odd on that, BB - dope was readily available at my school, which was a grammar with a roll of about 600, 50 or so being boarders. I was a boarder from 1964 to 1970 - I was caned often, both figuratively & literally, but never by nuns
But I don't want to be sidetracked by that issue.
I have to say I agree with Incog about the 'secret' filming and I feel that is the main point for discussion, the 'kids of today' thing can go off in too many tangents....
