We had custard served in a shallow pink Bakelite bowl for afters - it must have been Birds Custard and was thin and steamy hot. I finished mine, then went back up to the serving ladies to ask (politely I thought) for some more. I did say please, I'm sure of that! The hair netted serving lady said loudly "look - she's done it again!" I didn't get my extra helping, and spent the next hour standing on a chair in the corner of the hall, long after all the other children had gone back to class. I was mystified! What did I do that warranted such punishment LOL. This would be about 1958 in Great Harwood.
