You can't escape it, no not the straw like stuff in the fields and in your garden which still needs much rain to recover from that really hot period a few weeks back but the "Back to school" promotions in the popular press, in store where T G Jones were pushing geometry sets, folders, note pads while you encounter them online.
For some us it was either Martins or Hayden's with branches across most towns here in North Staffordshire who also stock school specific items while market stores stocked more generic items by Banner David Luke and Trutext.
Unlike him this is exactly what I wanted back then having had the misfortune to be in the era where Longs were taking over which I found less than comfortable.
Truthly this time of year makes me sad for just the lack of that whole feel of going back to school, the comradeship and sense of purpose of it all.
