Once! Myself and a couple of friends. We walked the streets all day; it was cold and wet and we were bored to tears! Never did it again. Bev x

i was one of those kids that bunked off school from when i was 14. then we had a school board man, and he would come to my house and take me to school EVERY DAY. i still managed to bunk off! i feel i got my education from t.v. i didnt know much when i finally left school, and i had my first child when i was 18 so i was at home a lot of the time, watching t.v. i would watch all the programmes like countdown and things like that. now when i watch who wants to be a millionaire i can get by. i was never any good at maths at school and too this day i still cant subtract without a calculator, but my english was always very good. my family said that i would never amount to nothing, but i had a very good job working as an administrater for c*met and c*urts until my back got the better of me. now i am back to watching t.v. and still getting educated. i would also like to add, that i have been educated on GR as well. you lot are a hive of information! thank you.xx

*checks round corner to make sure me folks aren't listening!* Yes I did.....frequently!!! Never know how I got the grades I did.......but makes me wonder how I would have got on if I had actually knuckled down and pushed myself............I was bored with school and had a job lined up with the intention of taking a year off.....here I am 12 yrs later and I never did pursue my further education.......will do though....when little sprite's a bit older and able to be left on his own without burning the house down!!!!

Well it surprises me, all these upstanding members of GR who admit to bunking school!! I must admit that I agree with those of you who say you learnt more after you left school, I think we can all agree there ;-)))

I did once and regretted it.I wasn't clever enough to forge a note from my Mum and got caught ( it was a bit obvious with four friends off in the same class!). We bunked off because we hadn't done our Biology homework and we were scared of the repercussions for not doing our homework. Anyway we got six hours detention. I hour per night for six days. Never did it again!! Carol x
