The Rex Cinema........I can't be sure of how old I was at the time, but I was wearing my Prince of Wales check trousers (blue line) so that must date it. Around 14ish.

 

Anyway… I was doing a similar thing to you kirky. To impress my new girlfriend I took her to the Rex….all the way from Crookes on the 95 bus….they were showing Kelly’s Hero’s for about the 1000’ time…good choice of film to impress your new girlfriend (NOT). And trying to impress her even more I wouldn’t let her pay for anything. As we left the cinema Theresa noticed I had chewing gum stuck to my rear. I became completely baffled by her attitude…..she came across as if it was my fault I’d got the damned stuff stuck to my new trousers.

 

I soon got fed up with her….lesson learnt….as a male it’s always our fault no matter what it is.

 

The Rules:

 

Rule 1: The woman is always right.

 

Rule 2: When the women is wrong, refer to rule 1

I went to Woodthorpe School from 1945-1949.

I think a Miss Burley was the Head of the Infants school then and there was definitely a Miss Vaughn. I remember Miss Vaughn well as when I was 6 years old I was in love with her and had plans to marry her when I grew up.

There was a Trevor Bullivant in our class and I think a boy called Gordon Mole [or Maw?]. That's all I can remember now . Going back a bit ! I remember a few kids from Audrey Road , though. We lived on there , near the junction with Lathkill Rd.
