An unanswered question.

Yesterday morning ( Friday ) I had a friend to pick me up and take me to Morrisons to get some fresh bread and fruit. We decided to have a cup of coffee in the community hall opposite Morrisons because the Morrisons restaurant was still being built. Anyway as we walked in the community centre there was a room apart that had many young folk aged about 16/18 and they asked us if we would like to go and have a cup of tea with them to have a little talk about any subject that was picked out of the box that they had prepared.
We said that would be nice and we joined them. They were going off into groups and there was 7 of the younger folk where I sat plus another elderly lady. My friend meanwhile had had a phone call so she went outside to talk to whoever it was without interrupting the soon to start conversation.
One of the young ladies gave me a box and asked me to take a slip of paper out of it and read the question that was written on it and we would have our talk round that.
I read out this question from the paper "What did I think was the MOST important subject to study to help one get through their degree?"
This I had to smile about and I explained to the youngsters that when I went to school there was NO degrees and I finished my last 4 years at an evacuee school and had to start work at the age of 14.
The look of wonderment on their faces when I told them, after being asked why, about me being bombed out twice and machine gunned in the hopfields when just 10 years old and machine gunned again on the evacuee train was priceless.
The questions fired at me from all directions from the group was quite enjoyable. They wanted my website and the printer of the books I had written and when it was time for me to leave they asked me if I would be going again next week. I said I could not promise because I did not get out much these days. I also said that for the past 3/4 quarters of an hour they had been firing questions at me BUT we NEVER did get round to answering the main question that was written on the paper. They all said it had been a fascinating time with what I had told them AND they had met someone who was a REAL live evacuee and had learnt more in that short time than they had in all WW2 history lessons they had at college.
I even had a few hugs from them. It made my day.
