Hello nella, jmac and theengineer,
So nice of you ALL to join in this thread and it's wonderful how a collection of memories can twig the ole grey cells into remembering more
. Nella I sincerely hope I wasn't one of those geeking boys LOL as I was about 5yrs older but I do confess to having a wee look at the girls in my era and the poor things having to wear those navy bloomers
.
Now was that Mr. Redpath the one who drove an old MG car ? Yes theengineer I remember those penny baps as they use to make a real mess under the jumper from the flour that was all over them LOL ! and Nella I do remember Mr. Keers blond secretary NOT her name but most certainly her BUST we didn't mind being send to the Head Master's Office purely because of her
.
Thanks jmac it's very interesting to hear that Barnes went on to become Principal at Somerdale, did any of you that knew him know of the tale that he had a steel plate in his head from a serious accident many years back ?
Liz I spent many a Sat morning in the Forum and yes I was one of those [censored] that dropped stink bombs and cause havoc and it was there where I had my first smoke .. mind you it was a cinnamon stick not a cigarette
Did any of you guys get the girl's hair that sat in front of you and roll a strand or two onto a match stick then tread the match into the ink well and wait till class ended as they stood up and took the well with them . I'm sooo sorry girls
