Re: Sentencing of Garry William Dobbie

You could possibly try calling the clerk to Eloise Marshall at 23 Essex Street to ask if she will be prosecuting once more. If yes, they may have a rough idea of timeline, they may not. They may not tell you anything. Otherwise it is a waiting game.

Re: Phone boxes

I like to string them along when they call by telling them one of my "injuries" caused severe amnesia. They usually twig after the 3rd or 4th mention of amnesia and hang up but one bloke was either very persistent or stupid (or both) and called me back at my request a few days later. I thi...

Re: Did anyone know?

Returning to the thread's question and, at the risk of sounding like Donald Rumsfeld, in summary it appears that some people knew something but didn't know about other things: some people knew nothing at all or if they did know something they didn't know that they knew it; but no one knew everything...

Re: Did anyone know?

I started in 89 & witnessed a boy on my year being slippered. In fact, the teacher in question asked for a sample of slippers from the rest of us and then selected one with a hard sole. Not saying this was a regular occurrence but corporal punishment did not end with Baker.

Re: Letter to the Head Master

Rob, Firstly, amazing that you are addressing the council although it's obviously in circumstances that I'm sure you'd rather not find yourself. When is this happening?

Re: Letter to the Head Master

And to add that, if money is an issue, i would try approaching some of the top law firms and asking if they will take you on pro bono. Most large law firms do pro bono work and a case such as yours is exactly the type of thing they'll take on. If successful, you'll likely have a junior solicitor or ...
