Rabbiter, many thanks for that. I dont think I would recognise Billy if I saw him today but if you ever see him again give him my kind regards.Very very sad about John Sanderson--- :|:|

Do you still see any of them?

Yeah that`s how I remember. Mr Hornshaw did have a land rover and for some reason named it Felicity. Did he leave the school in the late 70s?

yeah, I heard he got sacked for some misconduct thingy. I remember a big after school fight with Colley and old hornshaw picked up a half brick to go into battle. I distinctly heard mr. allen ,the head say "Hornshaw, leave it, go back into school" and we laughed.

Another thing about hornshaw was that his form always had the day out to alton towers for getting the most houspoints. My mates in his form reckoned he gave away housepoints in registration for knowing your name, so inevitably, they won.

I also remember him showing off trying to slipstream the bus on his bike and crashed and the time he tried to scale the woodwork building with ropes. A real eccentric.

 

BTW the metalwork teacher was mr baker, who invariably had motorbikes allover the workshop, so the kids couldnt actually do anything.

Yeah that right about the house points he was doing that when I was there until we got a student french teacher in more form(green) we won that year and went to the Great Yorkshire Show.
