Yeah tell me about it. I remember slipping over in the school playground and taking the skin off my knees, making a couple of holes in my trousers in the process. Did I get an earful when I got home, always ending with
'money doesn't grow on trees you know' by which you knew you'd be spending the rest of the term with patches on the knees of the trousers.
As far as your injuries were concerned you either got a warm wet flannel to dab them with or if you'd made a big enough fuss, a lump of cotton wool with some TCP on it.
