This is a short chapter in my short novel 4C, available through Amazon. The novel is a collection of funny stories and situations, set in a 1960s Grammar School.
It is nostalgic, amusing and reflects on the experience of being a teenager in a large school. 
This podcast is a nice short bedtime story.
