Hi my name is John Savage and I believe I worked at Sydenham at the same time as you. In fact I believe we were in the same intake year. Some of the names I remember from that intake were Michael Watty, Brian Lennox, Francis Burns, Trevor Rogers, Jim Hoyle, Don Tumelty. I also seem to remember your Dad worked there as well, was he an inspector or ratefixer ? My Dad and 2 uncles also worked there and as you said earlier in was like one big happy family. Hope to hear from you if this info revives any memories.
