        One of the minor perks of my 11 plus scholarship was that, each year, the State paid for me to have a variety of stationery goods from the School Shop: several folders, some pens and pencils, various other things I've forgotten, and a pristine new Oxford Set of Mathematical Instruments. Despite having had a new one every year for six years (I didn't know about it the first year) I don't have a complete set left; though I still have several of the tins containing assorted oddments like loose nuts and bolts, either here or sitting in a box of stuff in my parents' loft.

        So now that I have my nice new protractor, set squares, and pair of compasses, I am prepared for whatever the autumn may bring
        You read about that kid who got sent home from skool coz he didn't have a compass, didn't you.

        This is worse than the finals dream.

        That I endured the other night.

        Again.

              Stock up! Then in 30 years you can flog them all to nostalgic middle aged mathematicians.

                I think most of the back to school stuff has been replaced with tins of heroes and celebrations. Plus last week I saw a row of mince pies

                  I won't mention the 'C' word but bought first present last week. Only because there was a 20% discount on the product if we used eldest unidays app on her phone
