It is probably best to begin by recounting the religious fervour that underpinned the daily life of the school. Each morning – excluding Saturdays – we practiced and celebrated the “one holy Catholic and apostolic church”, whether we liked it or not.

We were allowed only two drin...

Whether you were an addicted smoker sneaking around at break time, one who flirted with the occasional day time ciggy behind the Gannochy, or a strictly Saturday-night-only rule breaker. Smoking isn’t fun anymore. Smoking isn’t cool anymore. In fact, having to leave work for a smoke break, or sitting on your doorste...
