I clearly remember writing a story when I was in the juniors and my teacher crossing out "rag" and writing "newspaper" - she also crossed out a couple of parts where I put
*?@$*!! for swearing - she said there was no need for it. I told her we were supposed to be writing about real life and people swore in real life
(and certainly in Dagenham
) She wouldn't have it though
I love this bit
"Fire crews helped the woman down from the tree using ladders, while
the cat eventually made its own way down."
