We went to Blackpool Zoo...

Jorvik.

River Roddlesworth.

That gaff in the Peak District.

Etratat.

Barcelona.

We got some hardcore porn at the latter, me and a mate went in a sex shop on Las Ramblas, we perused some porn and he was obsessed about the size of some black geezers nob size.

There was a stripper on and she beckoned this lad onto the stage and he shit out.

I was buzzing to get into year 5 to go to PGL but they changed it and we went to Paris instead. Which was lost on a group of 10 year olds. 
Think it was just an excuse for the teachers to have a few days in Paris get pissed at night and play strip poker 

On the way home at Dover they said if anyone needs the toilet go now because the toilet on the coach isn’t working.

One lad had a bad tummy and half an hour into the journey  he couldn’t hold it and had to drop his guts into a toilet that wouldn’t flush. 6 hour journey home with a toilet filled to the brim with runny shite.

I went on hardly any school trips as my parents were fucking brassic. The only one I remember is a trip to Castle Head in the Lake District in year 6. An attention seeker called Laura had all the other girls screaming and crying on the first night because she said a ghost threw her teddy bear across the room. It was fucking wank.

Infant school - Can’t remember where or why we went but ended up at Heysham. I do remember it pissed it down and was where I learned the sarcasm lesson. One or two of the bigger kids walked through a bloody big puddle. Head Teacher, Mr Evans, Welsh cunt! exclaimed, “Oh that’s right, walk through the puddle!” Well, I thought he meant Oh, that’s right, walk through the puddle but apparently he meant precisely the opposite. I got a clip round my ear for doing as instructed. I was about seven for fuck’s sake! Hated that Welsh bastard for the rest of my time there.

Junior school 1 - Speedwell Caverns, Derbyshire.

One year later, Junior School 2 having changed due to mum having a job on school dinners - Speedwell Caverns, Derbyshire. At least second time I remembered to take some stones to test the “bottomlessness” of the bottomless pit. Got a bollocking off a teacher because “someone may have been down there!” Apparently my reply that, “How could they be if it’s bottomless?” was insolent.

France. It was shit . I still hate France and French to this day from my experience there . asked to go and converse in the shops etc to learn , miserable shop keepers laughing at our attempts . Just give us a fucking bottle of oringina you twat 
coffee in a bowl and a lump of bread for breakfast. Lulling you into a false sense of security with the promise of sausage and chips only to get some horse meat black pudding type shite  
Plus the Falklands was just starting , news images of ships getting sunk and seeing full warships in Southampton made it a very nervous journey across the channel in case the Argies might get us, especially when battle ships sailing in the distance where met with the cry of “ its got an argie  flag on  “ made it very nervous for 11 year olds who didn’t know we were no where near , we were in the middle of the sea , close enough t be torpedoe’d😁

What's PGL? Never heard of it. We went to Bolton Museum for a visiting display of works of Eduardo Palozzi it was well shite.

Me and mates used to go most Saturdays anyway, I'm sure they had a replica T-Rex? They had a travelling exhibit of a stuffed Polar Bear on a polystyrene 'ice floe' - a mate dared me to climb up and kiss its ringpiece. I smashed the ice floe doing so and lifted its tail to kiss its arse.

I think everyone licked the tit of that slave girl statue.

We went on loads to museums at primary school, Bolton, vehicle (Leyland way?), helmshore textile, some WW1 place, Manchester science and others I forget.  Then 2 PGL trips too.

At Rivi we had a PGL type thing in the 1st year and I was lucky enough to go on 2 skiing trips. Those that did French went on a trip to Normandy but I swerved that one.

Primary School - Blackpool Zoo, Ellesmere Port Boat Museum, Quarry Bank Mill, some mining museum, there were some others I've long since forgot about 

Secondary School - Israel, Somewhere on the Costa Brava which included a day trip to Barcelona, Camelot, Alton Towers several times and lastly and possibly the best several local wanderers away games! (Clive Knott used to borrow one of the school minibuses, we'd chip in a nominal amount for fuel and off we went. The Burnley 2-2 game sticks out most in my memory!)

Recall a “school trip” to, of all places, The Odeon Cinema in Bolton watching Oliver Cromwell. I assume for History. That foyer up the first set of stairs was carnage. Like a scene from Warriors as just about every school was represented and all wanted to show they were harder than the next. Never went on another trip to t’ pictures with school.

Visited Horwich sewage works. Spent the day pointing at turds and shouting "10 pounder"

Got back on the coach, it wouldn't start. Had to walk 5 mile back home in the pissing rain

Fuckin hell 😂😂

 

Secondary school we went to Holland for a football tournament(which we won). The girls also went for a netball tournament. 
 

Whichever genius decided to allow a 15 year old football team go away with the netball tournament is a fuckin legend.

We went to PGL whilst in primary. A load of kids were sexually abused by an instructor and we all had to have interviews with the Police. Thankfully I wasn't old enough to know what had gone on, and found out a few years later.  Wife doesn't quite get why I didn't want my daughter going on a PGL trip. 

Secondary, we had loads of trips, Hadrians wall for Latin, Stapley Water Gardens, Chester Zoo, Theatre. The school has their own outdoor pursuits centre called Patterdale Hall and we wen't there once or twice a year. Always great fun.

We used to go to the Isle of Man every year, stopped in an empty school with camp beds set up in the classrooms.

Good crack, the teachers virtually left us to it every day

You could've got the birch (the flogging device, not the erstwhile poster), my dad and his mates used to go on piss-ups there in their late teens - when they were drunk pub landlords threatened to report them and they would get birched. Wasn't bumming banned there until 2019?

At primary school a teacher used to whack the lads on the arse with what he called his 'paddy bat' for the most minor transgressions, you'd be made to bend over next to his desk. He was especially fond of spanking this slighty built asian kid - I think a few times he hadn't done anything.

His classroom stank of stale ale. His house burned down.
