That wasnt in the Rookerj by any chance MP?;-)

I got regularly caned in both senses of the word at school. The one was normally a direct result of the other.


We got hit with all sorts of stuff. A proper cane across the arse if you were being formally disciplined (anything up to 6 times. They weren?t allowed to hit you more than that in one go) but there were various other ad hoc beatings dished out. The standard was a ruler across the palm but the industrial arts teacher regularly made liberal with the old 2 by 4 and we had a particularly nasty PT teacher who favoured a cricket bat.

I read that as "fondly" bits :-$

He he, indeed. It's a chain of 'posher' coffee shops mostly outside the red light district.

Fell for one of the girls there a week before I had to return to the UK having been depressingly single the whole blimmin year. Sod's law!!!

Ha ha, you don't know how close you are to the truth Brendan.

I've still got scars on my legs from all the bicycles I fell over, and I was so bleary after 6 months that my boss suggested I go on holiday ... immediately!!


That's the one Rolo happy haze days


 

If i remember rightly, the toliets are up those stairs and to the left of the first picture you have the raised area facing the bar with a huge ornate, Indian wedding seat. But thats only if I remember rightly of course:))

Spot on.

I remember sitting on those seats just to the left with an aussie friend who'd been travelling around the world for 6 months with the usual drug related pitfalls and fears that possession might entail, and she was finding the whole openness htere very hard to get her head around.


By the time we were really battered a couple of officers wandered in to chat to the staff and check all was well, and had the conversation right in front of us. This was all too much for Lisa, who stood up (just), offered her wrists together to be handcuffed and said too loudly in that classic aussie drawl:


"Arrest me officer, I've been a baaaaaaaad girl"


I know things are funnier when you're stoned, but I honestly didn't stop crying for about an hour!!

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
