I thought that the young actor who played the young bully or thug with a gun thug was absolutely brilliant. In more than 40 years at the chalk face I only met two as bad as his character was and am proud that I was responsible for their permanent removal from school. Having said that, I wouldn't have confronted them they way I did had they been armed and if I did today what I did then, I would have been sacked and probably charged.
One of them, after telling the headmaster what he claimed I had done to him, he asked if he, the headmaster, was going to sack me. The headmaster replied "No. I am going to congratulate him", shook my hand and said "Congratulations Mr B".
