  3. Hi denshaw sorry for taking so long to reply but I only seem to get the chance to go on the site when I take my winter vacation. But to answer your question, I left in 69.
  4. Hi denshaw, your dead right, it was Davis for Ri. I can remember Robinson for woodwork. I don't remember Foster or Dyson. oh the good old days. Did you cut across Georges field if you were late?. I can remember when the pond froze one winter and i skipped school just to mess about on the pond. Didn't seem to matter in those days whether you went or not, or was it just me?.

  6. As a lad that lived in st Anne's, I even went to the nursery at the top of bath st park ( not by my self ) and growing up used to play on the park. As I remember, park view flats, as it is now, was the old workhouses. If it was an asylum, it would have been a long time before my time.
  7. Yes I remember now, collaluca, Reid (did he do sports as well?) Wallace, who was it that took ri? I can only think of him as holy Joe. Was his name Reid as well.

Why she didn't sit on a chair behind her desk I just don't know.
