We must be of a similar era lawrieleslie, only I remember Ellison Street Junior School. I went to Church Street Primary in Chesterton. I remember getting the whack off Saunders at Ellison Street which was bad enough but the worst punishment was "the pump" off a vicious piece of work called Bolton. You literally couldn't sit down after that. I then went to the Grammar where the head who handed out the caning was Morris Marples when I arrived there. Then it was "Pecker" Williams later in my years there. Morris Marples also used his right hand as an author; I have a copy of his book "A History of Football" which was an early book on the subject. He wrote other books on walking and stone circles, I think, but not on whacking! A History of Football by Morris Marples is for sale on Amazon for £735. When I was there my maths teacher for last year was an Indian called Sydney Samuel Theodore Rowe (Abdul to us lads). He too wrote a couple of books ..It’s a Wogs Life and Brown Toms School Days. They were satirical looks at the plight of immigrants from Asia. Sorry I meant Junior school not primary. Although there was an Infant school attached which I went to at first. Syd Rowe was a character and friends with my parents, he used to drink in "The Borough Arms" if I remember rightly. Mad as a hatter; I think he wore his gown as a statement, it was filthy and in tatters. I wonder if he would get away with those book titles today; I knew about the first, but not the second. There were a right pair of German teachers, wasn't there? Arty Kershaw, who had a nose like a foghorn, he kept cleaning, and "the Killer" who you didn't want to be on the front row with as he sprayed spit everywhere when pronouncing German words. "Sehr gut, Hans Schmit" could cause a tidal wave! Who was that pscho woodwood master? Can't remember his name but he had a vile temper. |

At my 2 minute careers interview with him I told him I was joining the RN. His reply was that I wouldn't like it, wouldn’t last 6 months and should stay and do A levels. Would have loved to have reminded him of his advise as I left the navy in 2003 after 34 years haha. Killer Morris German teacher was also known as Sprayer Morris because of what you said. The woodwork teacher was Nev Callear who had seen service in WW2 in the army as had Knocker White who was Deputy Head. There is a very good Wolstanton Grammar School Face Book page with plenty of photos and memories. |

There is a very good Wolstanton Grammar School Face Book page with plenty of photos and memories. Thanks for that. We used to call him Major White. Who was the Deputy Head before White when Marples was there? I remember he still wore high neck collars, about the only person I can ever remember who still looked like someone out of Dickens or Sherlock Holmes. White used to run the rugby first XV and the cadets. I don't do Face book, my wife says I waste too much time on Oatcake as it is. (You see who the boss is!) But I'll have a look when I see the family next. |

Do you mean Les Lowe aka Cod face PE teacher from Knypersely, saw him hit a mixed race lad across the arse with a spade for pissing about playing cricket, he was a cruel bastard he was made to apologise for that though, used to send all the lads on cross country unless you played football for the school I was lucky I played for my year the year below and the year above, I never did cross country, Wasim came after I left, French teacher Mr Hulton ? mad as a fcuking hatter ended up having a breakdown. Sweetie Hall we used to pinch his fags and smoke in the classroom soft as shit, Mr Fuller aka daddy weedkiller used to wear a trilby one of he lads nailed it to the classroom ceiling he went of his tits, and the delectable Moorside bike Janet Bird had more pricks than a second hand dart board  , was the Chemistry teacher Watkinson ? Yes it was Watkinson...fucking psycho. And yes ..Mr Lowe not Lloyd. Do you remember wet and windy warburton..woodwork teacher. And the metal work teacher, cant remember his name... Did he have a white beard and looked a bit like Uncle Albert? Mr Thompson AKA “Chuckles” 😂😂 |
