Went to the oldest primary school in the county where our desks were wooden and the top lifted up where we could put our crayons, notebooks underneath. The mean/hurtful thing you could do was dropping the desk-lid on someone's hand.
Ha, why did I think you were older than I am?

I remember typing ditto masters. If you made a mistake, you corrected it by shaving the ink of the back of the master with a razor blade, then tearing off a corner of the backing paper to transfer the correction onto the master.
