Careful now youngsters *mad* You could learn a lot from someone who "knew" the 60's - it was the time of some good music, sexual freedom and a few other notables, so I'm told *tongue*

Sorry Paul

 

In history class we used to learn about hedge schools. Some hundreds of years ago - history wasn't my strong point 😳 - there was a ban on educating the plain folk in Ireland (I think is was the English planters living in the Pale who were responsible, actually *eek* not that I'm bitter *tongue*). The monks around at the time set up illegal schools in the hedgerows, where they could secretly teach people to read and write, etc.

 

My sister thought that our Mum might be old enough to have been educated in a hedge school 😳
