I Remember Physical Education In Vest And Pants [I Hated Physical Education Class]

Forgetting your PE kit was not a valid excuse for getting out of PE at my school. You did your best to borrow spare kit before the lesson, but if that did not work you just had to do it in your underwear 😟

On more than one such occasion I thought I had borrowed myself some spare shorts, but they turned out to be way too big and I ended up running around in my knickers 😥

There wasn't such a thing as spare kit at my school, no kit meant sit out the lesson🙁 No plimsolls or trainers meant bare feet, that happened to me on more than one occasion.

@GkB01 No plimsolls or trainers meant bare feet. No shorts and T-shirt meant knickers and vest 😟

@QuietSophie We could get away with no shirt indoors, called PE in 'skins'. Not sure it would be permitted now🙂

@GkB01 I hope not 😬 We were given netball tabards if we were not wearing vests. But if you had no shorts, you just had to do PE in your underwear 😟

@QuietSophie I'd certainly have been uncomfortable with wearing just underwear. Did you have to wear a netball tabard or underwear very often😬?

@GkB01 Three times in secondary school. I remember each vividly and no, I was not at all happy or comfortable having to do PE in my underwear 😥

@QuietSophie I'd have remembered my kit after the first time I think🙂

Once I left it on the kitchen table and my mum was out and I wasn't allowed home to collect it. I had PE last thing in the afternoon and I was miserable all day knowing I was going to have to do it in knickers and bare feet 😟
