    I would have been there through infants and juniors from 1955 to 1962 what was the teacher's name?
    Ah, I think she started in '63. Her name was Margaret Gilbert.
  • Ah, I think she started in '63. Her name was Margaret Gilbert.
    Doesn't ring a bell just missed her but she would have known some of my old teachers; Mr Mockeridge his wife Miss Weeks, Tom Lovatt, Mr Reeves and head Mrs Skelton.
  • I am not too sure i am afraid, Doesn't ring a bell. Good luck to your eldest

    This thread was started way back in 2007 and some of you have told us at least 3 times which schools you went to.

    I've an excuse, I struggle to remember what i did this morning.

    Bloomfield school. ;)

    I was at Chis & Sid for exactly those years. Presumably you were there at the same time as David Campbell?
  • Did you start to try to hide stuff under the rice to test him? I would have.

    All the time. We were students and massive chancers.

    He would be shouting 'more rice, more rice. Have you got anything under your rice'. But he didn't have the confidence to challenge you when he could see you were hiding stuff. He just got more red faced

    Oh no, not another one. A little before my time. I was a bit of a football loner, let alone Charlton, though later discovered @Airman Brown was around. Got the class let off Latin homework once because I was the only one going to see us play WHU in midweek league cup tie. Thanks to teacher Mr Mason, who was a Hammer.

    (Apologies if this is a repeated story from about ten years ago - can't be bothered to trawl back through thread...)
  • Wingfield Primary (Ferrier Estate), 85-91. Most of the kids supported either Liverpool or Millwall back then, felt like I was the only Charlton fan in the whole school!

    And then, like a lot of the kids from the Ferrier, Thomas Tallis, 91-98. Met a few other Charlton fans there including the (now) famous Seb Lewis.

    Yes. Same year as David.

    Needless to say there weren't many Charlton fans...

    I knew Richard Mason very well - ended up playing for his football team he managed in the Kent Suburban League. The school is still to this day rugby, rugby and more rugby.

    @Redrobo I managed to have a chat with him when I was in my late teens/early twenties when he was then working at Alexander Mcleod and was with the school choir out carol singing and he remembered me. He was quite a strict teacher and you didn't want to cross him, so I didn't. Took us for football had a shot on him, mind you when you're eleven all adults had a shot on them...........no Churchino references please :wink:

  • The school choir.

    Lol, no I wasn't singing, Mr M was with the Alex McLeod school choir outside our flat. As it happens I can bang out a half decent VFR and at the correct tempo I would hasten to add :wink:
  • Ive been through the whole thread and can't find anyone who confessed to going to my old school. Mind you, you did need to be at least a little eccentric to get in there.

    I did @Lazy_eye_metaphor

    Roughly the same years as you I think, 1972 or 73 until Jan 77 when the old man moved us oop north. I hated that school with a vengeance and Percy was well pleased to see the back of me!

    St Thomas a Becket in Abbey Wood prior to that.
  • Normandy primary. Crayford secondary. Newbury house

    My wife's twin brother was there between '74 and '80. His name is Colin Webster and I believe that he was quite a decent goalkeeper.

    Ah good old Percy Black! Do you remember Tutters the history teacher? His favourite words (at least to me anyway) - YES YOU GET OUTSIDE!!

    Would have been two years below me so wouldn't have known him. Only Webster I knew from those days was a nasty piece of work. Probably inside now.
  • Kelvin Grove Primary, Sydenham.
    Oxted Grammar, Surrey.
    Ashford Grammar, now Norton Knatchbull.
    South Kent College of Technology, Ashford and Folkestone.

    Percy Black was a scary little bugger, he once said to me that he caned me so often all the fun had gone out of it. I remember Tutters by name but nothing more, I didn't have him for lessons. Mike Wesson was my form teacher in the first year and also my maths teacher, I seem to remember a female PE teacher always hanging around him who the kids nicknamed Titty Thoms!

    Jackie Metcalfe, Graham Nichols, Maggie Mountjoy, Mr Gough, Jim Austen and Mr Edgelar who was the headmaster are some of the teachers I do remember.

    Most of those were there when I turned up. Percy retired not long after I got there and I remember a group of 6th formers got a policewoman stripogram for him on his last day in front of the whole school. Think he quite enjoyed it. Mike Wesson was my form tutor then Jesse James who smoked a pipe constantly during lessons.

    Wesson also had a catch phrase - What the HELL do you think you are doing lad!

    I had Percy for Physics. He was constantly telling us that if we passed our O Level we could get a cushy job with the Post Office. Probably true in those days.

    Who was your History teacher? Tall guy with a lisp called Robinson?

    Ha, I forgot him, that pipe was constantly alight and I'd loved to have seen Percy's stripogram lol
