I'm with you on that Phil. Why would you make it look like a factory chimney in wartime?? I'm impressed that you had the you-know-whats to stand up to your parents and refuse to carry on at RC school! I only discovered years after the event that my parents had turned down a place for me at art school because they thought, at two bus journeys, it was too far. Then we were moved to another pub ( Dad was a manager) and I had to get two buses anyway!
