Yes, it was full time, which was what I wanted. I didn't enjoy school, and just wanted to go out and make my way in the world. So I left at the first possible opportunity that I was legally allowed to, and I never looked back.

Schools here in the UK, now have to go on until 18, but back when I left school (1984) you could leave school legally at 16. Most kids stayed on until they'd completed their O Levels (final compulsory education exams) and then finished, and either left school or went on to further education.

I finished my maths O level at 12.30 pm on the 2st June 1984 and was gone by 1pm!!
