Since reading your post re. Thatch's tv appearance at school, I've been giving myself severe brain ache thinking 'Who IS she...who IS she????' I may have been older than 11 but no more than 13 so you may have been in my year or the one above...either way, I'd probably know you. Are you still in the same town?
No I'm not, got out years ago, the school and the place itself hold some really unhappy memories for me. Fortunately I'm sorted now though. There were some real b*****s at that school, I do hope you weren't one of them. Anyway, we all grow up and move on, so if you were I forgive you. You seem very nice!!!
I got out of that one horse town about 15 yrs ago...seems to be a place of misery to most!! I was a bit of a cow at school sometimes so now I'm scared to say any more... I'm not so bad now . I think it's an all-girls' schools thing. I left in 84 (5th yr), I used to hang round with Clare Stewart, Emma Bowen-Jones amongst others. I hear Miss N Holland is dead now, wish it was the other one We had a mutual hate thing going on! Tell me more...i'm intrigued!!!
I left in 88 so it wasn't you who was one of my many tormentors! Had N Holland for Geography, apparently she fell off a ladder or something. Had C Holland for French. What's French for effing cow? Don't recognise your mates names. Hated the sad sorry miserable place. Can you remeber Mrs Imber and Mrs Jacklin? YEUCCH! Odious!

French for effing cow is Madame C 'Olland i believe!! You would have known Clare if you had crossed her, she was a baaaaaaaad mutha!!! Mrs Jacklin - Say it don't spray it love! Mrs Imber was ok but I got U for Chemistry cause she made it sooooooooo interesting! I may have occasionally pinched your dinner money but I don't remember any run ins with a Chastity Dingle lookalikey
Didn't look owt like her back then! Anyway, much to my shame, was on free dinners, those horrid red tokens that said My folks are eternally skint on them, hence the bullying. Ahh, memories! So you couldn't have got any money even if you'd tried. Sorry!!!

Ahh poor you. People can be such sh*ts. I can honestly say I only ever had rucks with people who deserved it cause they too were b*****s! I think that school mentally scarred lots of us. I always thought that the attitude of the school was if you're not a academic genius or big on sport or music, you may as well have not bothered turning up!
My sentiments exactly. Mrs Imber was disgusted upon learning I was off to college to hairdress. Her exact words were 'Coming from a school like this? Well, jolly well make sure you have a chain of salons!' Then she put her nose in the air and walked off. I was stunned. It wouldn't be allowed in this day and age would it?
Snotty cow! I used to have a bit of a crush on Mr Plant or Potshop Pete as we used to call him. I think it was cause he was the only man under 60 in the vicinity!
He was my teacher in 2nd form. We nce put a joke dog turd on his chair, he sat down on it, he wasn't too happy, he made us write out an apology. He was on the whole pretty chilled out though, one of the better teachers.
Can you remember Miss Whicher? Trust me to get her for history as opposed to the far nicer Mrs Whiting. Whicher was supposed to be very friendly with Miss Faulkner, the cookery teacher with the rice krispie on her eye. And talking of lezby friends do you remember Mrs Bray and Miss Briggs?
LOL. Yes I'd heard about Miss Whicher and Miss Faulkner. They lived together in Barrack Square. Mrs Bray ran off with Miss Wilson didn't she? That was after I left. Didn't know about Miss Briggs but no surprise there!!! She reminded me of Tommy Steele. I had Mrs Whiting for History...had a lovely checked tablecloth coat I seem to remember.
Ha, yes she did look like Tommy Steele didn't she. I seem to remeber hearing something about Bray and Wilson. And whatever happened to Mrs Spoors, she of purple crimplene flares? I was up before her in the 1st form cos that Morris dancing git Dr Gallimore put me on report for nothing!! Pig!! She was hideous to me. I could go on forever, but I won't, you have a life to lead!! Lovely talking to you, Sharky.
Mrs Spoors aka Spartacus! Dodgy barnet or what??? Miss Whicher apparently had a wooden t*t!! I'm not sure I believe that one though. One of my mates had a thing for Dr Gallimore, I think it was the petri dishes that did it .
I looked a few of em up to see what they were doing, all of em had well paid jobs and no kids or kids and au pairs or they were living somewhere dead exotic. It just depressed me even more. Past is best left alone, I prefer my present!!
The majority of people at our school were nutters. I joined FR years ago and was inundated with messages from nutters, people demanding back dinner money and the bereaved family of the earwig I ate for a bet (see what's the most exotic thing you've eaten thread)

I was a mini-terrorist. God I so hope she wasn't a victim.
