Yes Bambam, nice lad David Mather. Not seen him for years. Didn’t let his problems stop him from enjoying himself.
Yes, Mrs Burton, driving her mini at about 15 miles an hour, could barely see over the steering wheel.
I did prefer the old school as opposed to the new build. I remember going up the zig zag staircase to the upper classrooms. And when they flattened the old building I remember Bert Parkinson pushing his wheelbarrow to it and collecting all the old light fittings and switches among other things. The original Salvage Hunter! Would probably be worth a few bob nowadays them old things.
Also remember the chocolate sponge with pink custard. Don’t think I’ve ever had it since then!
…Great times!
