I don't recommend it as it can get you into an embarrassing situation if you're not careful but then I was persuaded by a good friend of mine. I am
referring to the time I returned to my old school some fifteen years after I'd
left. The friend had been invited to speak as the guest of honour at some
function or other at the school. He had been so insistent on my going that I
couldn't really get out of it. Mind you, I had got on quite well at school but
I wasn't really looking forward to coming face to face again with certain of
the teachers. There was one in particular who must have been getting on because
he'd seemed pretty ancient when I was there.
