St augustines that's the one where we were marched down the road two by two to the church wasn't guys , that echo in the church scared me !
I used to walk to school there via Dame agnes street .

They sent my brother to that school, God knows why , i was as daft as him as a lad ,but i turned out alright ,but he enjoyed it despite the stigma of being labelled a rosehill bright spark !

Welcome to NS, Eric. Sounds like there were a few eccentrics at your school. We love school stories on NS and would love to hear some more.
Hi Jill, i remember at alderman.w.derbyshire school , i was about 16 getting ready to leave at easter , we had an english teacher which i feel sorry about now , as we used to give her an hard time , one time i was being foolish , and she said don't be so facetious, and told me to stand outside the class , she stormed out , took me in the little store cupboard and said take down your trousers , well, i thought that's a bit kinky miss isnt it ?
But she smacked my legs so hard they were still smarting at the end of the school day , i deserve it , sorry mrs Appleby !

Yes Margie it was the year the seatbelt law came out , because we were stopped on our first morning to the racing stables , the driver couldnt find his drivers licence so questioned us more .
I explained we work for mr Brookshaw at asforby , he got on his radio and stood in front of the car , with the windows down i clearly heard the constable mispronounce brookshaw , he said brookbond , so i roared with laughter and made monkey signs touching my arm pits , he red faced shouted at me , you think its funny lad ?
As i tried to explain teabags typhoo and monkeys to him , i just said right off you go , but i will be in this layby tonight and if i see you , you're nicked !!!

David, the other series you allude to was called, "Kung Fu". Carradine played the part of Kwai Chang Caine. His father was John Carradine, actor of many films. His brother is Keith Carradine, one of his films was 'Easy Rider', with Dennis Hopper. Hope this helps. B.
Thanks Beekay for the memories!

Who remembers Monkey the Japanese TV series of the late 70s or Micky Dolenz of the Monkees fame in playing Corky in Circus Boy in the early 60s?
I remember that series monkey , i saw Davy jones from the band the monkees when i worked in the horseracing stables for G toby balding , he had come to ride one of our horses in a charity race !
What was the other chinese series with david carradine , they'd call him grasshopper and he'd hold a red hot pot with his wrist ?

We watched Eurovision to the very end. I like the Sam Ryder song and also the Ukrainian one. There were generally too many strobe effects in the programme though - sometimes I had to turn away and just listen.
We recorded Britain’s got talent because we like it!
Paper lace , them were the days !!!

I did not live in a house with an inside toilet until I was 20.
No bathroom either. After puberty it was the public baths for me every Friday night. At 28 my new house had three inside toilets and I found it very confusing
I remember when we lived in Leicester street st anns , we had outside toilet in the courtyard , scared to use in the dark in case there were a big hairy spider lurking in there !
