At the age of 11, Dot attended the Ursuline Convent High School for Girls in Wimbledon. She loved the social side of school and had lots of friends, growing especially close to Helen, Sue, Anne and Siobhan. Now keep in mind that this was a school run by nuns. Surely this guarantees angelic pupils? Not for Dot and her friends, oh no! One day they accidentally broke a park bench, an incident that remained the worst crime Dot ever committed which, in truth, speaks volumes about the integrity with which Dot led her life… except when it came to park benches, of course.
