    I went to Banks Road in Garston and then on to Hillfoot Hey (Mr Dunn then Mr Pomfret were heads ) Great school now demolished unfortunately.

    Exactly my route also
    Do you remember Mr Burns (Headmaster) and Bob Nolan (teacher) St Martins
    He once told us each and everyone of you will either work on the Docks or at Camel Lairds.. Im Glad I proved how wrong he was.
    Only ones I can really remember from St John's is Mr Collinson ( Frolly) and the Infamous Sister Gertrude and Sister Anne..... Gertie was one of the most sadistic people I have had the misfortune to come across in my life. constantly walked around with a cane under her habit.
    She could use the cane better than Zoro could use his sword.

    Five years behind me but spot on.
    Collinson was known as Collywobbles - really nice man who struggled to deal with the rougher kids.
    Gertie - my mum would never believe what a monster she was until my sister started work, as a nursery nurse, at the kids home Gertie also ran. Tales of violent abuse were common.
    How about Mr McGarvey (head - lovely man who saw good in everyone), Mr Galea (Maths - another sadistic *******), Miss Dunn (English), Mr Slattery )Science - hard but fair), Mrs Ahmed (Art - like a young Elisabeth Taylor).

    Couple of people in my class who I remember and were from Garston. Michael Axworthy (great footballer - went to Man U then Everton but don't think he got past the youth teams), Michale Powney (another good footballer), Imelda Longhurst, Frances Fanning. Names beginning to fade now - boy I'm feeling old!

    Sex education - we had a monk come in and explain to us a process he'd obviously only read about in manuals!

    Have often wondered if Mr Mcguinness had read some obscure manual on the subject himself
    Possibly the manual the monk left behind
    The girls had Gertie tell them so it would have been a greater mystery what she told them possibly some S&M thing
