Back to the topic
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
I remember in summer the lights would come on about 11pm and it was not very dark then.

Don't feel badly for me. Looking back I think I enjoyed the discipline and the opportunity for advancement which was clearly laid out. Not that I was perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Spent a few hours in the head masters office and was rewarded with the appropriate reduction in rank (military schools award rank).

I look very fondly on my time at the school. It is defunct now. Probably because it created too many people that the mommies of the world (read nanny state, welfare state, socialists...etc) didn't like.
