PE

Y’know, when I were a lad a PE session was something to be feared. It inevitably involved a very long walk to the school field, getting smashed in a scrum by recalcitrant sixth formers or 8 laps around the school with a victorian gym teacher screaming abuse at you.
Woe betide you if you ‘forgot’ your kit. Then you could pretty much guarantee doing the above in ‘skins’ and a grey pleated skirt. Barefoot.

And if you thought you could do the 8 laps at a walking pace and got busted you’d have to do it again but at break time.
Things have changed now I tell thee.
Check out this vid of how they get assessed for GCSE PE which now includes surfing and not just sports that are thinly disguised acts of random violence.
Why wasn’t it like this back in the late 80’s?
