The old school days. |

| Description |
We would have worked the system where most older people of my generation and older would've, where you'd've sat and rhymed. You rhymed your tables "six and one are seven, and six and two are eight" and so on like that. You'd've rhymed your spellings and you'd've rhymed the counties of Ireland and the rivers and all that. I could still rhyme the counties, I think the whole thirty two and the towns, each county had its list of towns. For instance Trim, Navan, Kells and Oldcastle, that sort of comes into me head. Dublin, Dun Laoghaire, Blackrock and Dalkey, that sort of thing y'know? And this rhyming went on from various classes within the room, all sort of oblivious to what the others were doing.
