I donā€™t remember the ones we had at our school, I just recall I never got onto the tougher books. I never could be much bothered with reading until I discovered Fighting Fantasy books and the like.

I always remember my mumā€™s friend (who was a teacher) telling us a story about her Polish teaching assistant reading these books to the kids they taught, and how she pronounced the names ā€˜beeeeef and cheeeeepā€™ :slight_smile:

Holy shit I remember these! My primary school still had them despite them being, even then, really old and falling apart (sorry NV).

Also, not a woman. I am interested to know if anyone has ever met a woman whose name was shortened to Biff.

If I got famous thus allowing me to legitimately give my children ridiculous names, I would name them Resty and Velvet.
On a separate note what is velvet, I know its nice to touch, I could google it but why would I do that when I have u guys!

My daughter is doing these books now. Smashing through the levels, nice to see she may one day be as literate as the folk on here who did it when they were kids.

I did the ā€œwide rangeā€ books, I think. Dull as fuck.
