PopT Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 At All Saints the headmaster rarely had a cigarette out of his mouth and being over 6 feet tall the kids nicknamed him 'The Towering Inferno'. I thought this was one of the best nicknames I've come across. PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was certainly one of the fairest men I've ever met,a real gentle man and there were some tough kids at that school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
