I obviously did'nt get enough practice with the purple!

Not such a bad thing as purple pencils used to have to be bought out of
your own pocket whereas blue and red were provided by the office. I
never quite understood why warm- and cold-front pencils were free but
not occlusion ones.

Wow, that must have been a long time ago - I didn't have to pay for my
purple pencils! I remember we had to guard our ball point pens with our
lives as you could only get a replacement by giving up the old ones. You
know, those black ones. Getting well off topic now!
