[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 12108617, member: 360"]Nominally, it was a religious school, yes, although I'm not religious myself. My brother and I went there together. But yes, it was just this fun little custom we had. I remember when I reached 12, our class had to pick out (or the teacher assigned) students to do certain tasks. So like one was they needed 2-3 kids to bring lunch to the staff-room for the teachers. Everybody wanted that job, because it meant having leftovers and sandwiches and cakes and stuff, totally for free. The other main one was the school bellringer. Loads of kids wanted that one too, just because...what little kid doesn't want to run around school ringing a massive, antique brass bell AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE all over the place!? One of my friends was one of the kids who got that job, and our teacher took one look at him and said: "Since it's your job to signal the end of Recess and Lunch, it MIGHT be a good idea..." *glances at his wrists* "...to buy a WATCH first". Everyone laughed at that. Ah, fun times...[/QUOTE]
