A picture and aerial of the old Cathcart Street School
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
We don't do charity in Germany, we pay taxes. Charity is a failure of governments' responsibilities - Henning Wehn
What a great pic of my old school, all the school photos were taken in that yard and in the ariel photo oak gardens still standing [I lived in eldon ], look atthe waste land that was school place where my mate Quala lived - happy days!
I went to the nursery there, i can't remember much about the school, what i can remember and this might jog a few memories of anyone who went to the nursery, every day we had to have a little sleep, the teachers would put little type of camp beds out and we would get a blanket, my blanket had a drum on it and i think the bed also, when we awoke, we would then have to go to something on the wall with pockets in, my pocket had a drum on it and thats where my comb was. Every kid had their own identity symbol. They had a toy that was only got out as a treat, similar to the bobbing hoses at a fair ground, this was bobbing sea lions, clockwork i suppose.
God help us, Come yourself, Don't send Jesus, This is no place for children.
I went there too,My brother Bandicoot took me to my first day at the nursery aged about 4 I think? so that would have been 1958.Mrs Richards was the head mistress,I did not like her at all.
