Were School Days Best Of Our Life?

I have to agree, the teaching when I was there was bloody pathetic, kids ruling the roost.

A lot of the teachers and staff should have been struck off.

It seems to have cleaned up it's act so to speak and is now a Science specialist college as well now or something and the kids are getting better results now.

I'll be honest, the only football team that I ever felt physically intimidated by was your lot.

It was like playing against a young offenders institution.

It was a pretty tough place to go to school. A miserable time for me.

We had a good footy team though and a lot of big lads. I was only ever on the fringe and called up when someone had had a night on the cider behind Len Tobutts.

Our keeper, Keith Welsh went on to play professionally.

That's because they were all 23 and retaking their O Levels every year.

Not sure how old you are Karly, and I'm sure I'm old enough to be your Dad, but was that wanker Mr. Twigg (Maths) still there when you went?

Yes he was.

I am 31 BTW.

He tortured me. I was shit at maths so my Mum and Dad made me go to private maths lessons to make sure I passed my O-Level. That cocksucker announced it to the entire class every single time I walked into one of his lessons. You can probably image shit I took.

Swore blind he was having an affair with Gail Tilsley(?) from Coronation Street too. Used to tell us that he had a flat in Manchester where he met her once a week.

What a COCK!

You're probably right. It should have been called The Hills Have Eyes School

If you're 31 Karly you'll probably remember Mr Altdorf, AKA the scouse umpa lumpa.

A few more names the Sharples lads might remember:

Mr Mitton - geography teacher, nice guy, but everyone was shit scared of him because you never knew when he'd have a nervous breakdown and shout and throw stuff like a maniac. I think he was a big Bolton fan so he might well be reading.

Mr Gething - I think he'd been there longer than the school so you should know him.

Mr Robinson - English teacher. Retired now and seems to spend his life in Hope and Anchor on Chorley Old Road.

Mr Leggett - good bloke.

Mr Singadia - mad science teacher.

I remember Mr. Gething and Mr. Leggett. Leggett was poking the/my art teacher Miss March (my first wank )

Is Altdorf still there? His partner was Mrs Turner you know.

Couldn't fault the sports teachers there, they we're fantastic including Mr. Turner.

Singhadia is a very good Science teacher. I remember when his kid started school, the kid couldn't keep away from his dad at break times, apparently it used to drive him bonkers.

I remember Leggett and robinson but didn't really have them as teachers.

I don't know a Mr. Gething and Mitton rings a bell although I had a Mrs Ruscoe for that.

Do you remember Mr. Savage?

We used to have a couple of fit Science teachers as well but my memory isn't as good as it used to be.

Is that better love?

Jamshed the non dangerous taught at Sharples if I remember correctly?
I wonder if he taught chemistry?

Didn't realise it at the time but school days were probably the best time of my life. Great laugh and no worries,no responsibilities. Wish I could go back and do it all again knowing what I know now. Tong Fold Primary and Smithills Moor Grammar Secondary school. Got caned just the once but it's something I'll never forget. "Sparky" Sharples (deputy head) scared the shit out of everybody and could certainly inflict some lasting pain with that trusty cane of his.
