  • Had a teacher that used to say “put the rattles down and listen” rattles being our pens. It got annoying so brought in a babys rattle one day and shook it every time she turned to face the blackboard. Hid it under desk with it pressed between my knee and the bottom of the desk, took her the class to figure out who was doing it. Instant detention of course, headmaster found it funny so let me off detention after 10 minutes. Happy times.

  • “Would anyone like a chalk-let”? Favourite and oft-repeated ‘joke’ of eccentric physics teacher who used to carry small pieces of chalk around with him in a tin box.
