I may have had a hand in the school burning down!

The evening of the school fire, my father, David Spragg and I drew up at the traffic lights at the top of Cavendish St., having returned from a football match at Burnley. David passed a comment about school again on Monday and I distinctly remember turning round to him and saying, " I wish it would burn down or something."
Imagine my shock, horror, then glee, when David came charging round the next morning with the news. For a few months after that I really thought I might have accidentally tuned in on God's wave-length. Unfortunately the granting of that wish, especially with regard to school, was not to be the beginning of the exciting and fruitful communication, that I hoped for.

Hi Carol, I presume you are in fact a lady. Well, names can be confusing -- was not there a famous Halifax male wrestler called 'Shirley' many years ago! Anyway, Carol, I believe you are the first woman to post on this website since it inception three years ago.

What's the world coming to? Is nothing sacred?

Yes, it definitely looks like our male bastion has been breached. I remember when they let ladies into the snooker room at my local Conservative Club down the Aire Valley. It was never the same again.
