My sisters and I were well fed and clothed. However my first school (4-14), when I started there, was straight out of the Victorian era and something of a nightmare. The head master, who was a pupil teacher when my grandfather was a pupil before WW1, and head teacher when my father attended, was very cruel. He hated the kids from poor families and beat the living daylights out of them. He even beat one lad unconscious! I was badly bullied because my parents were better off than many of those of my classmates.
