Well that time has come to go an visit secondary prospective schools for my son to attend next year. Last night was the turn of my old school Crypt School, Gloucester. I left there in FEB 1986, having completely screwed my A-Level mocks. and I was surprised (and shocked) by what i found
some parts of the school have changed (some for the better) radically in the last 21 years, some parts however, like the school hall, seem to be stuck in a time bubble, and are exactly has??I remember it, the colour, the small, the chairs, the stage, the decor etc
Then came the wonder round the school, when??I stumbled on the 1983 school photo, what a shock to see myself and some of the many friends I had since forgotten. During the tour??I met two old friends, Jeremy Matthews and Heath Long, I had not seen Heath since I left 21.5 years ago.
Then came the biggest shocks, Mr Spear, (A geography teacher while I was there) and Mrs Preston (my 3rd year, year 9 in modern lingo) is still teaching at the school, and yet even more shocking Mrs Preston, remembered and recognised me. OH MY GOD was I really that nasty to her !!!!
