I cle...I remember those days without fondness Ben.<br /><br />I clearly recall being made to get up from my scrubbing (of a very long corridor dubbed the M1) to stand to attention whilst saying "excuse me sir", every time one of the sadistic boy-beating screws walked pass.<br /><br />After the scrubbing would come the polishing. <br /><br />The polish would be laid with a cloth. This would then be 'buffed up' using 'bumpers', which were very heavy (almost as heavy as some of the boys trying to wield them!) rectangular blocks, attached to long broomstick-like handles, under which a suitable cloth would be placed for a floor "I can see my face in it" - as the screws would like to spout at regular intervals. <br /><br />I hated scrubbing, and the nasty-minded screws in equal measure.Darbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-76321050983070464652011-09-27T12:43:47.589+01:002011-09-27T12:43:47.589+01:00Pity they don't scrub floors like that today i...Pity they don't scrub floors like that today in modern hospitals - we would not have these super bugs if they did!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
