I remember at senior school, we didn’t have ‘fountain or cartridge’ pens. We had a bit of wood with a nib on the end, our desks had ink wells which the teacher topped up with ink (Quink). 1970View attachment 92784

Me too, we did get to choose which nib we wanted to use

My school appointed "Ink Monitors" of which I was one. Almost with every top up there was a drop or two spilled which invariably got on to the pupil's shirt or jacket and often got me a battering.

My English teacher ( for three years) was a very scary man, he could nail you with a blackboard eraser no matter where you sat. He teached from what looked like a church pulpit, I remember him whacking a friend of mine in the ribs with an umbrella in front of the whole school during assembly
