I worked in the Music/record industry for 14 years and all of that time it was always agreed that copying for personal use was not a problem. Piracy on a large scale was taken very seriously and we had a specialist unit chasing those up.

What does she want to do? I am surprised what I can do on a Kindle Fire HD, with google installed. Cant run MS Office and I cant find a way to copy and paste but for Internet browsing and emails it is perfect, and very portable.

Can somebody point me in the right direction to be able to read these please? Sounds interesting.

I remember Mrs Coombes well, and her daughter.

Yes, wasn't Mr Smith the head, Marshall was head of lower school. Cant remember heads of middle or upper schools. I left the Comp in 1964.

I went to the Comp and became friends with Christopher Marshall, the headmasters son. He came to my house one evening after school and was collected by his father. I hadn't told my mother who he was. Big surprise on her face when she opened the door to the Headmaster. They lived in Blakesley road.

Looking at that list it appears nearest camp was Maxstoke. I am sure one must have been nearer.
