And which prize did DG win? Maths, I expect.

"I bet schools don't hand out alcoholic drinks to their pupils today, even half an hour before they kick them out."
Ha, you should go to my sixth form, being in Camden, they tend to take a more liberal attitude towards alcohol, throwing us 2 or 3 parties complete with champagne and punch.

Lovely post, DG. Took me right back. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

I too left sixth form in 1983, but I'm sure they let us go as soon as our A levels were finished, so we just sort of petered out. And this year my son's just finished his. Love 'the embarrassment of handling cardboard'. It hadn't occurred to me that the days of boardgames on the last day of term (albeit never in my experience at sixth form) were over.

When I went through all that, we were allowed a single bottle of perry between about 10 of us. I don't think anyone could really be bothered marking the event, since the 6th form had all but fallen apart due to a merger with another school. Pretty anti-climactic really... :-(

We all went down the pub, as we had pretty much on a regular basis since the start of the 6th form.
The pub would've gone bust without us underage 6th formers (edit: oh, it did)

I remember looking forward immensely to the last day of the school term. We would always bring in board games such as Monopoly, as well as original 1980s Game Boys and Game & Watches.
I also remember my last day of sixth form. The school let us have beer and wine (which I helped myself to, of course!), and also hired a bouncy castle for the day.
Great post today, DG.

Sometimes I wish I could remember further back than a year or two. I can't remember anyone I went to school with, no names, no faces, nothing.
So it's weird to read a nostalgia piece that I *must* have done, but have no memory of.

Tom - what will happen if you get old and get dementia? Usually then people can remember the past but not the present, but you cannot remember the past ...

It's probably a case of 'when', not 'if'...
It'll be alright because I'll probably forget to breathe or something.

Blimey when you were leaving sixth form, my mum was still three days away from going in to labour with me whilst mucking out the pig sty!

My school handed out alcoholic drinks at various leaving events in '06. Luckily it's not dead yet!
