I've posted it before but I don't want to feel left out 
When I was 11 in 1964 my dad sold our two up two down back to back with no bathroom and an outside lavvy for £250. He bought a three bed terrace with a bathroom and kitchen extension for £1950. 25 year mortgage was £16 a month.

if it had an outside toilet in the back yard, it wasn't a back to back. Back to back were literally back to back with each other .. they had a front door ..... the back of the house was the back of the house behind you.
Those terraces you see at the beginning of Coronation St are NOT back to back 

It blows my daughter's mind that her Dad lived in a terrace like you described Steve .... outside toilet & no bathroom. 

Oh right. We weren't actually bottom of the pile then, we had a back yard. Posh or what? 

Yeah, rich posh kid. You would have got the shite kicked out of you at my school

Any kid with both ears was considered a nancy boy at my school.

Almost every day at my school involved attendance of some combination of the Army / Police / Fire brigade - and occasionally all three at once. 
I only chinned one teacher, so I was only mildly delinquent, and he was coming across a bit creepy so kept quiet. One 15 year old pulled a gun on a teacher who was going to give him the cane.
He regretted it though when his Dad found out. Dad was one of the big paramilitary figures in the area and beat the living shite out of him.
