I hate to be flippan...oh heavens, where do I start? I hate to be flippant on a post which has such serious overtones. But, boy, what memories.... Let's just go straight over how long ago it was, shall we? And over what a challenging time some of it was. I'm happy to forget lots of it, that's for sure. I am quite gutted, in hindsight, that I never got the O-level computer studies due to the strike knocking out our lunchtime lessons with Andy. At least ours were with Andy, after the change of staffing. Andy probably got off lightly really, think he struggled enough trying to teach me physics (note to everyone who doesn't think physics and me go together - they don't, once he'd struggled to get me to learn how to wire a plug, he gave up and let me do other homework in a corner for the rest of the year till I could drop it!) But on more serious topics, I'm sure, I think, that if the enlightened world we live in now was then, the rather seedy goings on that almost certainly involved some of our close friends couldn't have gone on as long or as unacted on. I wouldn't like to ask them now, perhaps as much for their peace of mind as much as mine. But it is a thorny issue, and I applaud you for getting involved in the sphere.<BR/><BR/>But I still think that I'd rather have heard Holmfirth was a music specialist college in tribute to all the achievements of Liz, Alan and Jim, even if we did murder the odd thing in our repertoire. March to the Scaffold, you say - yes, that was definitely bad. Be interesting to hear what it should sound like though :oAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
