martss Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I went to Gleadless Valley '84 to leaving. Mr Simpson, Woodwork, always had a good story to tell, get him talking about his Capri and he wouldnt stop! Mr Richards, Geography, smelled of coffee all the time. Mr Bradley, Maths, droning Brummie accent. Mr Martin, English, ex copper, still thought he was a copper though. Mr Turner, Metalwork, very quiet bloke, good teacher. Miss Mettam, History, Games, seemed to say "erm" every other word. Miss Foster, cigarettes and alchohol! oh and her black Trans Am! Mr ? , Computers, had an orange Escort RS2000 Mr ? , Maths, looked like Sting Probably remember more if I have a think, saw a few of them in The New Inn one dinnertime, but this was in the early 90's.
