Was Jason Flemyng, the actor, expelled? I seem to recall also that he was involved in a shop lifting episode when he was in Mid A?

I though the title of this topic was Roger Martin and yet the last 2-3 pages talk about Peter Webb. Digression folks!

This press article happened during my tenure as Senior Grecian in 1984. I think more Lent Term 1984. The headline was indeed "Goodbye Mr Chips" and I am pretty sure it was the SUN newspaper. I recall Baker desperately pressing me to find out who had leaked the story but not really my cup of tea that...

I noticed that the fate of three Yemeni gentlemen was also posted on the same day in the Mail a few pices below Karim's report. Different approach and homicide also involved, but in some countries rape carries much harsher penalties http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6042533/Three-paedophiles-s...

There was a mass school vaccination for BCG in the early 80s but during my time can't recall any flu jabs being administered!
Paul Hoskins (son of) was a contemporary of mine...

In the Senior House the role was more important and incorporated getting both dorms up after the rising bell, leading the houseto bre...

I think the cricket bat inventing (Woodworm) was actually his son, Joe who is now onto another venture with the Funky Iron Company...

There is already a posting called Favourite Teachers on this Forum and so maybe this new thread is doubling up what has been said unless and being pedantic there is a difference between a good teacher and favourite one

In the 80s you could choose your Senior House in theory but you did not always get it!

Another round of negative publicity though this time concerning pupils. All rather sad and disappointing.

Terrible publicity for the school and in the press reports I read; they all mentioned that school fees were 31 500£ a year and no mention of the charitable side.
