The name(s) definitely ring a bell! I was Susan Pearson then!

Yes! And also always carried her handbag over her arm like Margaret That her! I once asked her what she wanted to do when she was growing up and she replied: “Anything but teach!” She was a superb teacher. She had a cat called Misty, named after TS Eliot’s Mr Mistoffelees! Do you remember...

Yes, that sounds like me! What’s your name? If we shared a class it might have been English A Level with Mrs Box?

That’s exactly how I remember you!

Lol!!!

He did!

Gosh, that brings back memories! I went out with Colin Horlick once!

Yes, she was very reserved and kept herself to herself. Jane Evans was in the ‘M’ form. She lived just up the road from me and we often went to school together. Her parents ran a kind of menswear shop on College Road and her dad was a tailor. I remember going ip there and we both made...

The girl second from the right in the front row was - I think - Denise Devine? She had a broad Irish accent if I recall correctly?

I think you were all in the sixth form when I started? I have an old photo somewhere of a few of you outside the front entrance with some of the new intake - if I find it I’ll post it! I remember that Margaret Cruxton was my form prefect!

And yes, I think you’re right about Maureen!
