<I FW> {Right, Brian, can you tell me how you like being here,
at school?}
<I BC1> Because, I came here because my mother and father thought
that I would get a good education, and they think nuns teach far
better than ordinary...
<I FW> {Do you think that?}
<I BC2> Yes.
<I FW> {Well, what do you think, now you've been taught by
*them*?}
<I BC3> *I do*, I do think that too {do you}. I think because

being educated, you're not being, eh, if you do something wrong
you're not being thumped, things like that. At St John's, if we,
if we ca(rried), if we carried on and did bad, bad spellings, we
would get slapped {is that true?}, but here, if you made a
spelling mistake, you'd just have to write it out. I think that's
education . . .
