plantfit 6,661 Report post Posted April 17, 2019 Stan Bullard was an inspiration to those who had a mechanical interest,same as Mr Britten, mentioned earlier, he gave guidance when we were building the Penny Farthing bike back in about 1966, gave praise and encouragement when it was due, not so much strict but firm, great teacher,great person,pleased to have known him in my younger years Rog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Meeseeks 50 Report post Posted April 30, 2019 On 4/17/2019 at 7:46 AM, plantfit said: Mr Meeseeks, the careers master when I was there was a little fella called Sturtivant or similar, the careers "room" was a vacant room at the bottom of the "M" block we attended a "careers morning" in there to discuss which type of job/career we would be best suited to,my turn came and the careers master said "Ah C---------,you sir are a cabbage and that is what you will always be" real confidence booster that was, anyway towards the end of the class I went to the front and said to him " Sir with respect I couldn't find any leaflets for cabbages do you have any behind the desk?" at this he had a duck fit and all the boys in the room went crazy, got my own job after trawling through the evening post each night Rog Wasn't Sturtivant the Lovell House master, or is this another one. Did anyone manage to get a worthwhile career or a job even, as a direct result of the Careers Master in the early 60's? Cheer, Meeseeks. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 8,827 Report post Posted April 30, 2019 Sturtivant was Lovell house master when I started at Fairham in 66. He left a few years later and Mike Byrne took over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 4,060 Report post Posted May 6, 2019 His nickname in our class was 'six foot of misery'... Don't know why, didn't know the bloke and he never took our class. He did once set a mathematical puzzle for the whole school which supposedly took him several hours with a slide rule. How the hell he expected us to solve it I've no idea but it was something to do with the magazine 'Mathematical Pi'. I did once see him use his size to good advantage. A lad called Brett had a short length of scaffold pipe and seemed determined to change the shape of someone's skull. Burnsy came steaming across the playground scattering onlookers like so much chaff before grabbing the pipe and frog marching one very surprised playground bully off to see Thom. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 8,827 Report post Posted April 10 I think Lizzie's explanation is correct. The poster has registered on Nottstalgia for the first time and given themselves a user name which should actually be the thread title. And......... I left Fairham at that time, and I remember a person named Andrew Sheffield who would fit the bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
