My other half went there for a couple of years when his family moved back her from Oz. Think he went there 84-85.

Just another quick note...We used to call it Birkenhead Idiots... grin

I also went to BI in my youth. I was sad to hear that Lenny Malcolm who I am sure many old boys will remember pasted away last year. I can use his, for want of a better expression, catchphase of "I`m sorry but if this happens again there will be trouble" to this every day. He was known as being a very strict man but a fair one.

I was there 54/58 and I remember Lenny, like the man said, hard but fair. Not many schoolies there took any stick. I still value the education I got there even though I didn't complete it, like a prat.

Len Malcolm was an xcellent teacher at the BI, and sad that he is no longer with us. For anyone interested, please see my BI history web site, and more about the BI teachers, at:-

http://biwirral.webs.com/

There are also many BI photos and images at the BI FLICKR site:-

There are many pictures and comments from former BI staff and pupils on the history web site, so please have a look.
