Sorry for the delay to everyone. I have started a new job, 6 weeks training so haven't been around. I cant see any tapestry taking place soon.

Thanks Wendy and oldmohawk. I am still thinking, but will let you know if and when I start.

But isn't that a false way of showing how British schools were?

It must have been different for some kids as my Mom and Dad went to what they called secondary modern, He don't remember going into the playing field and shooting refiles or was this just for the rich.

Not at all Elmdon Boy, in a way its lovely that you can remember the past when you were a kid. I can only remember things from the 70s.

I have talked to my Mom an Dad about this programme as I was interested. They told me that there is no way the children would have talked or answered back to the school teacher.

Thanks Astoness. I cant reply to a lot as I was not born until 67 and most of your members remember a lot more than me. I enjoy reading through the forum and will contribute whenever possible.

I can only go on what my parents have told me, Schools and life were nothing like the programme portrayed.

The first photo, I can recall as my dad had one of those think it was a Riley. I would have been about 3 at the time so you never know I may have been on the back seat. LOL.

Hello everyone I am thinking of having a go at a tapestry. I am pretty good with the sowing pin, but I know its a lot more than threading a needle. I have been on the internet but for me they make it look a lot harder than it really is. We will see.

Good Afternoon My clubbing days or should I say nights, were in the 80s. Ones that I remember going in but vaguely remember coming out, were Power House, Edwards No 8, Millionaires, Boogies, Elbow Room in Aston. Hattie.
