We all know the one about the "ugly duckling". Well I wouldn't call what happened to Jody a fairy story but it did happen and, "Oh my God", was it a big surprise? And not just to her. Looking back, she really didn't know how she made it through high school or rather "Grammar School" as the chief nun insisted on calling it. It was “Chiefy’s” way of harking back to the days of a "proper education" at a "proper establishment", and although I say chief nun, she had heaps of other names: "The Dalek". Which was an obvious and funny reference to her habit (excuse the pun) and the way she glided around like “Doctor Who's” nemesis. "Mary Madge". A rather derogatory dig at the fact she ran the school as a Dickensian dictatorship and gave off the whiff of an absolute "legend in her own knickers" or the reincarnation of the somewhat revered biblical sinner turned good (true or otherwise). Mary Magdalene that is, and the very name by which her penitentiary was known. I mean school. "She who must be obeyed." An obvious one.
