Did you go on any weird field trips in school?
We were taken to a taxidermist in 1st grade. Who approved that?

When I started teaching I worked with a somewhat jaded senior teacher who seemed to know where all the pubs were whenever we took a group on a trip. 'Free time' for a lunch break was ever expanding and looking back I shudder at the irresponsibility of it.
When I was school student, I remember many of our visits to castles (Caernarfon) museums (York), London Airport (as it was then known and had a public viewing gallery) and many other vomit-inducing long coach journeys.

@Frank52 As I get older, I see more and more of these so-called 'lunch breaks' that turn into two-hour dinner parties. This is for people who like their liquor but should be off school grounds and fully after hours. I don't drink and would be out of place for an instance you describe.

@MaryJanine As a non-drinker myself, I fully agree. In later years when I ran school trips, nothing of the sort was tolerated and no alcohol featured in the working day.

@Frank52 I am glad to meet a fellow non-drinker. If I am going out, I order up a "Horse's Neck" - non-alcholic but the name sounds like it would knock you on your ear. It requires an explanation (It's lemon-lime, 7-Up, or ginger ale with a slice of lemon included), looks like a cocktail and you don't get drunk, either.
