Grew up and went to school at Middle Park Avenue/Primary

Like wise. But have yet to grow up.

Went to Eltham Green school (although I use the word 'went' very loosely)

I don't remember the skating rink - but Caters was the supermarket that became Presto's in the place where Argos is now.

Was a pretty famous armed robbery in Caters in the late 70's where one of the gang was shot dead by the OB.
