I don't think we learned much about microwave radiation and quantum mechanics even at AGS!

At Mount Pleasant in Clayton-le-Moors, Mrs Pickering and Mrs Haydock would often assist us with essays by giving the first line - usually 'Last night I went to bed and thought...' which was of course a gift to me. Before that sentence had ended I had mentioned the Texas transistor, now all power MOSFETS - Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistors (if I may capitalise) but then low-power p-channel hardware with a map of Texas printed on each one. There arose my fondness for Geography, and my award of full marks from Ma Waring for my 3X essay on Iceland. I venture to mention Jean Scull and Harry Foulds, who would often open a lesson by inviting questions. A few of us gave them them runs, but rarely pauses.
