I would think about 58 to 60. He wrote a long derogatory piece about ‘Pig’ Hutchinson, the geography master, and pinned it up on the notice board in the 5th form corridor. He was expelled. Barry was a good lad. I used to run with him in the senior cross country team. What he wrote was probably true but he must have been seriously upset by something to make his feelings so public.

Thank You Phil;I do not remember the incident, so supposed it occurred post 1960. Two incidents which will live in my memory for ever in relation to Pig Hutchinson is 1 Being asked to bend over with my head about one foot away from the wall at which point he ran across the room and kicked my backside result sore head sore backside and 2, Billy Thomlinson being called out to the front of the class for no doubt some trivial matter, resulting in Billy being cuffed at the back of the head.Billy started crying,more in anger than pain, at which point Hutchinson looked round the room,saw me and invited me out to the front of the class to join them on the basis I was Billys mate.I had barely arrived before Hutchinson cuffed me at the back of the head saying "He is not crying why are you.Pure Hutchinson .By the way how did you know Keith Dawkinsons and Brent Reddish and do you still see them around?

I Phil, Did you receive my posting about Pig Hutchinson?
