Weston Soroptimists were treated to a hilarious talk by Peter Tinney at our January meeting. Son of a local farmer from Wedmore he recounts his childhood memories and experience about farming over his lifetime (see him on youtube). He was able to bring his primary schooldays in Allerton to life with his eloquent description of his teacher who brought her cat to school along with three pairs of knickers to dry by the stove. He explained that teachers always carry a large bag in which to deposit items belonging to the children which they have confiscated (i.e.stolen!) and never return. Girls and boys were separated in the playground by a fence topped with barbed wire. None of the 8 children in his class passed the scholarship exam to go to grammar school. All this and more kept club members totally absorbed and entertained. Dinah gave a vote of thanks
