Medical checks at infant / junior school

We were all given notice the day before about a head lice check so you went home and told yer mum what was going to happen

She would go through yer hair and if you had lice you never went to school the next day

I always survived the inspection but some children were always absent due to a cold or some other ailment that coincidentally occurred over night
