Now Gareth's a bit older. He's in the upper school, which means he and the other boys are allowed out for lunch. But actually, roaming up and down the high street, lunch is the least of what they get up to. This particular break, Gareth's with a group of mates, including a boy called Ben.

He's one of these kids who doesn't seem to have any boundaries. On this day, Gareth and a group of other boys follow Ben into the local newsagents just up the road from the school. They think they're in there to buy a can of Coke and some sweets, but Ben has other things on his mind.

That's where the porno mags always are. You could be as subtle as you liked, but if you were buying one, there was no hiding it.

Brazen as hell. And somehow he walks out with these five mags without any trouble.

The CAF was a little Italian deli. Gareth used to go in there with his mates, not to eat, but to hang out. His lunch money was already spent on a ten-pack of Benson and Hedges. Miss Bowen was often in there too. Did you clock her as soon as you got in? Yeah.

So the boys all come in laughing because they've just pulled off this heist in the newsagents. And Ben's really excited about it. He's opening up the porno mags and waving the pictures around for everyone to see. And he's trying to get Miss Bowen's attention, sticking the mags under her nose and saying, what's this then, Miss? What's this? And it feels like it's getting all a bit out of hand.

She didn't react?

What Gareth does remember is that the action sort of dissipates and Ben and the other boys get bored and leave. Sir Gareth slides into the seat opposite Miss Bowen. The porno mag he grabbed off Ben is tucked away somewhere inside his blazer pocket or down the back of his trousers.

Gareth thinks she's going to confiscate it. But instead, she opens it up under the table so it's out of sight. And she starts flicking through the pages.

And at that moment, what was going through your mind?
