    0:02 I fancied Imelda she was dangerous and also her miserable blonde friend and the brunette who was fiesty (RIP Joann Kenny who played her ) they were a sexy trio. Imelda reminded me of that girl in ITV show Marmalade Atkins who I fancied also (she sadly died young also). I had a strange taste in girls back then, here's a toast to lovely girls/women alive or deceased that one took note of !

    Every school had its Imelda. There was a girl in the year below me who was constantly in trouble, was widely disliked by her classmates and was kicked out in the fifth year. She didn't reform or try to better herself, and her first stint inside was for robbing phone boxes when she 18. I gather, after years of prison sentences for theft, benefit fraud and assault, she's just been released from prson for stabbing one of her alky friends in the chest.

    My first secondary school I attended made people like Imelda prefects.
    My 2nd was much better, the 'hards' of my school kept themselves to themselves as they often undertook less than honest extra-curricular activities and did not want any 'attention' from teachers policing the space outside the building, They didnt interact with the GP. I look back and think of it 'play-Krays' taking care of the manor, keeping out the dross and letting everyone else get on.
    However it was a peaceful school during my time there with the only trouble being next doors school at term end.

    I have been a teacher for 40 years and even when I started in the good old days it was emphasised to me that a male teacher should never be alone in a classroom with a female student especially one that has a record of difficult behaviour. He should at least have had the door open. He may be totally innocent but without witnesses any allegations by the student would mean a lot of trouble.

      ​@@johngilmore697A lot of cases involving adult teachers and child students are of women teachers and boys. It is reported less, kinda like how women are as prone to being on the autistic spectrum but were previously diagnosed less or misdiagnosed as it presents differently. People are also socialised to not report women or to not see women as a danger. Work as a police officer, social worker or lawyer me laddy, and then you'll find out.

      I think she stole the charity money for Danny Kendal's recovery in hospital that Ziggy had organized. There was a confrontation with Ziggy and she just sat down in class and refused to move and several teachers had to sit in and watch over her as she did so. I don't quite know 'why she say down like that' or if the argument with Ziggy was even in the same class she sat down in.
