Yeah I remember!!

 

I was in Warner if I remeber rightly.

 

Such stupid names!!!

I went to Hunters Bar school

and we had Loxley (Blue) Porter Red) Rivelin (Green) and Sheaf(Yellow)

Loxley, Porter and Rivelin all used to support each other because everyone hated Sheaf ! For some reason all the really elite kids who were good at everything used to be in Sheaf.

Ooh! the glory and celebrations when our team (loxley) one both the obstacle course and the sack race on school sports day!!

It made a change - we were the worst team in the school, we never won anything else!

Halcyon days!

Then i went to secondry school and everything was ruined!

Bah!

I wonder who got the job of deciding the names....

 

I went to charnock school where the houses were named after famous people of days gone by

CHANTREY (red)

NIGHTINGALE (yellow) the best one - especially at the relay race on sports day

BRINDLEY (green or blue)

HARDWICK (green or blue) who cares which was which because they never won anything anyway!!

 

anybody else remember charnock school ?
