As you can see - mine was quite a thick one
You'd be arrested today if you had one of these in your satchel.
That one does look a bit lethal! My school compass only had a tiny sharp bit at the very bottom.

My school compass told me where North was.
It's lucky you had it to help you get to school, since they hadn't invented buses yet.

That was a pair of compasses.
I googled it and it is definitely also called a compass now!

I don't know. The youth of today!
When I think back, it was called 'a pair but even so, it's a confusing name. A bit like a protractor?
Every September - a brand new one of these.
Within 3 weeks, what wasn't lost was busted.
Replaced by your Panini 'swapsies', 10p for the drinks machine, cheat notes for the maths test and, for the more adventurous, a rather straggly roll-up.
Drinks machine? At school?
