  1. Just seen a request from former pupils requesting that a road be named after him on the former school site,report post 2013,I only

    went to seniors but met mr smith when we did a meadows clear up ,cleari.g rubbish from entries in the back to back meadows mr smith

    and albert whitehead turned up every saturday morning along with a bin wagon to try and put a pride back into the meadows.

    Does anyone know if a road was named after him,I think he deserved it

    any one that gives their spare time to a community the served deserves respect.

  5. It is not in justice it is what stupidity demands,and whilst there is stupidity ,stupidity will be delivered in abundance.only when the stupid are seriously ill do they realise who should earn the money,

    Then there are the grossley stupid they are called footballers,they beleive they are gods and deserve what they get,but they are rich and grossley stupid,there is a answer to this so called skill,replace the ball with a real football with a bladder,I assure you those so called skills will disapear
