It was common knowledge, that a 'lady of the night' used to offer her services from a flat in ED that was in the vicinity of a church, where the vicar was exposed - in a Sunday tabloid - as dressing up in leather and entertaining young rent boys, with the head master of a nearby school.

Sorry Fish, didn't mean to bite your head off ( I hate sea food ;-) ), but it was a horrid thing.


No apology from the paper that I know of... Things didn't work that way back then. It was 1988 - 89, I was only about 10 or 11 at the time, but remember it well, as we went to that school, and that church! My mum knew them both quite well, especially the vicar (won't put their names on here).


Basically the teacher and the vicar were both very very good people, and great at their jobs... They were gay, and had a party with friends, but not some sleazy thing with rent boys or anything like that. Anyway, one of the so-called friends at the party sold a photo to the paper, which proved nothing, but was enough for them to make up a load of trash! They basically had a headline along the lines of "Orgy at the vicarage"!!!


As a result, they were both pretty much sacked, or "asked to leave" their jobs... The real shame was that the parishioners of the church, and the pupils of the school lost out!


It was however quite the scandal at the time!


Anyway, mum still hears occasional things about both of them, and thankfully they both got over the whole thing, but it must have taken time!

How absolutely awful! What a terrible thing to have happened - obviously, those of us who read the newspaper, at the time and lived in the vicinity, had no knowledge of the background to this story. Thank you for informing us. On a lighter note, I presume, that you were a little too young to have known about our 'lady of the night'?

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
