Later edit....for anyone who has just clicked on the post

introduction
Oh blimey having spent two days trawling through the old posts I don't really like to jump in on the pretence that this is a reply to anything.
I'll probably be moderated straight off again....
Anyway have bumbled my way over from the land of ReUnited Friends via a private post to old pal Alex (thanks Alex), Mary I know you did send me a kind invitation a while ago but I'm afraid I only gave the set-up a cursory look and decided (wrongly??) it wasn't for me.
I see a name or two I recognise amongst the contributors and the memory cells are now stretching and yawning as they stir from their nervous uncomfortable slumbers in a little blue-tartan-clad bed with a mattress as contoured as a Dr Scholl wooden sandal...
I'm afraid I left CH early, one who didn't stay the course, but thanks to marathon letters from Alex I did manage to keep in touch from a safe distance!!
Sharing those memories, reliving the better times as well as what I have seen described as the "darker side" (yessss!!) sounds like marvellous therapy to me, so hope I survive to post again.

yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
I have survived to live another day... baby now all grown up - I wish I could see Fatty M's face now, and show her my son (21 going on 22) and my daughter just turned 18..... and show her my degrees - and see her face.. She could be really nice - but at tiems a little too acidic in her wordings.
If I type a load of crap it's coz I'm wearing flase nails (yes, i am now down to that level as mine just break and flake ) and it takes a while to get used to the keyboard etc.
Am totally whacked out after a day in Bristol's Cribbs Causeway (hi to anyone who knows it!) so will leave now and think more about CH and less about the aches in my legs, feet, hips and back!!!

I know Miss Morrison died a couple of years ago, but there are loads of people I would like to know about.Jude wrote:yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Miss (Chemi) Thompson died a while ago (Maria Grogan mentioned this on FRU) Miss Mercerstill going I believe.
Miss Blench, Miss Jukes, Miss Wilson and Miss (Mary) Norman, are the particualr ones who interest me.
By the way I was doing a trawl through the members on here and Joy Holmes was a very early one, but has never posted.

so many misses
Not just my memory playing tricks then, there really were all those terrifying spinster dragonesses...
But I do remember one male, a Maths teacher called Mr Mulholland, who had alarming eyebrows but was actually quite kind.
One day, when I think quite a few of us were struggling with something especially thorny, he broke off from teaching us to give us a pep talk instead....I remember him telling us that "even the B-est of the B's is way way above the average intelligence in the country"...that was encouraging as I was hopeless at Maths, still am. Nobody was more surprised than me when I got a good grade at O level (I think an angel sat on my shoulder that day...).
Mostly it was more stick than carrot though. I think I was much too scared to learn anything a lot of the time. Could have asked me what two add two was and I would have blanked!!!!
