What where the worst things you had to endure as a child?

Doses of "castor oil".   

I think I had cod liver oil pushed down my throat.

Having to eat tripe when funds were low!

We used to be given malt extract on what seemed to be a huge spoon!

I hated bringing home my school reports. It was always "could do better" but is lazy.

I taught myself to read at 4 years, no big deal. I was a bright kid when I left the little private school in Sale run by the two Churchill sisters but then, after being moved up a class, at the boarding sc hooI in Bowdon, was the youngest and the big headest of the lot and from then on languagues were still good but maths was appalling. One of the teachers said that it was all right to talk but to talk so that the whole class listened, was not good??

I well recall coming back with my school report in the late 50's feeling rather smug as one teachers had written "seems rather vague at time" - which I thought meant 'artistic'. A clip round the ear soon told me it wasn't
