80s students in government school were introduced to Roald Dahl’s short story as part of English Literature.

Or you’re saying you went to school in 80s instead of born in 80s?

I don’t know when Roald Dahl’s literature was introduced. But all I know is that as someone born in 80s, I learned about Roald Dahl in school.

Ok so now they remove it?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was adapted to film a few times, I watched the Gene Wilder version before.

The BFG doesn't stand for big fragging gun lol.
Some of his works are not really politically correct, especially when read nowadays lol.
