School Business Days

They may have also been called Mini Business Days, or whatever. Did anyone have these? My school did, the fourth years got to run their own businesses for one day, all selling stuff in the school hall. Some people had a shareware games stall, others sold those little fantasy board game figurines, others allowed you to play computer games for £1 a go (I remember an otherwise normal person snickering at Sensible Soccer as he thought the graphics weren't very good - they were in fact perfectly adequate and it is the gameplay that matters anyway, the fool). The main thing I remember about it was the annual school magazine. Interviews with teachers, reviews of records (one year, IIRC, all the grunge records were praised and the only dance single was "Poing" by that guy I can't remember. It was crucified, natch) and so forth. One year this gang of bastards who bullied me got the job, and made a complete hash of it (there were whole A4 pages with just two paragraphs and a lot of white space, photocopied from a dot matrix printer, etc). They were so bad that when me and my friends wanted to do the magazine the following year, we were told we couldn't as that lot of twats had embarrassed the school so much they weren't letting anyone do school magazines anymore. Somewhat illogical and grossly unfair, but that was the latter third of my school life all over.
