Even the teachers were giving you stick? That's cruel!

I always pointed out that if I was black they wouldn't be so cruel, then again two of my black mates had (and still have) nicknames of 'chimp' and 'bongo' and it never bothered them.

You're lucky - today you'd be called Tony Blair! Kids can be cruel...

Mind you, I'd probably be called Gordon Brown!
