I can remember one year when I was 15 years old, that for one sewn in Winter my mother sewed onto me my complete school uniform for the whole 7 months - that is, underwear was sewn to school shirt, shirt to trousers, trousers to socks, shirt to tie, school blazer to shirt. This was extremely embarrassing for school, and meant my mother forced me to wear school uniform on weekends and in the Christmas holidays as well, so to go out with other people I would have to wear layers on top of my whole school uniform of course making me very hot indeed.

I was taken in for a while, but not after reading this  :-X

Gym lessons and swimming lessons might have been a bit awkward...

"Leash"
"Diaper"
"Paddling"

When you say London, do you mean London England?

Also mentioned was "going to the bathroom".

Thank you for the welcome groom. Yes this was indeed in England, London in late 1970s and 1980s -
