Re: The least admired members of staff

I don't have a middle name, but it could have been Hammond!!!

Re: The least admired members of staff

David, George W-F recently signed up to the KBGS website. Maybe you missed it. I wrote to him, mistakenly believing it was JJ W-F - who certainly does 'tune in' to the website from time to time.

Their sister taught me, and Terry Marston, at Eastwood Infants School. I too joined Holy Trinity Church choir, though only for a very short time - I wasn't too keen on the dresses!

Years at KBGS e.g. 1958-1964 (optional) 1951-58

Re: The least admired members of staff

There was an old man who lived down Lawkholme Lane called John Barrett. He was born on Mafeking Night. He was witness to a traffic incidence and was asked for his full name by the policeman, 'Nay tha dusna want that.',he told the police, the bobby insisted and wet his pencil, ' I tell thi tha dusna want it.' The policeman threatened him with hindering the police so he delivered, 'John Makeking Ladysmith Kitchener Baden Powell Barrett' Theer nah are yuh satisfied!!'

Re: The least admired members of staff

Re: The least admired members of staff

These revelations about middle names are all very interesting (and I'm keeping quiet about mine - and you keep your mouth shut on that one too, young Marston!), but surely, the 'Waddington' is not a middle name at all but rather his mother's maiden name; isn't that how 'double-headers' work?

His initials are "A.D." - probably increasingly appropriate as time goes by.
