One fat kid’s persecution was average to low, until one day a weak-minded teacher tried to make us feel sympathy. In a catastrophically stupid attempt to get us to like the big lizard, we were told that the fat kid could not wear boy’s trousers, but had to have old man’s trousers cut off just below the knee. The result was, spectacularly enough, a barrage of abuse that resulted in a watershed moment of growing up, the first time I heard a contemporary say “cunt”, as in “Ha ha, you wear old man’s trousers you fat stinking cunt.” Marvellous.
