What year of the 1950s is this supposed to be set? i was wondering about the contraband chocolate. Surely that was availble in the 1950s even if it was on rationing in the early part of the decade.

Chocalte was, of course, around in 1950s however that doesn't mean it was allowed in schools. When i left my school last year it was still forbidden to bring in any food other that a drink.

yes it was 1956 and we could ahve chocolate however only one bar as our person item however mobile phones were certinly nto around in 1956!

I couldnt go without my mobile for that long!!

Yes but it was found and confiscated. Your puny attempts to hide it were doomed...doomed do you hear?....Mwahahahah...

Yes. Of course there was chocolate in the 50s, and, come to that, in the 40,s during the war but it was strictly rationed. I was at school in the forties in an independant school and there were no restrictions on what the boys (all boys' school!) ate that they bought for themselves. However, I was a day-boy and I don't know whether or not the boarders were allowed to keep food in the dormitory.

were you allowed to phone your parents to let them know you were still alive??

I think they were just allowed to write letters. That seems like the only communication between home and school.
