Carly Gooch Reporter from The Nelson Mail

We're looking to write a fun story about what teachers got away with back in the day before the 90s made much of it taboo. I had a teacher who would dangle naughty kids out the window by their feet, and one leathery old teacher who would get her favourite students to rub her feet while reading… View moreWe're looking to write a fun story about what teachers got away with back in the day before the 90s made much of it taboo. I had a teacher who would dangle naughty kids out the window by their feet, and one leathery old teacher who would get her favourite students to rub her feet while reading us a story. What were teachers doing back in your day they wouldn't be able to do now? Please, only things we can look back and laugh at. You may be contacted or your comment used in print.

Seville Oranges

David from Upper Moutere

I am still trying to find some Seville oranges for marmalade making. Our tree is still a couple of years from fruiting. Thank you for the suggestion of using eating oranges with added lemon - but in my long experience that doesn't yield the lovely sweet/ bitter taste that is so distinctive.
