That ‘Joints’ Marathon just needs the middle bit spraying orange, ‘Oswald Ingham’ in black on the doors and it would be on the Tate & Lyle sugar tank job from Freightliner Longsight into Trafford Park 5 loads a day and a cab full of sugar especially if you were into making home brew beer & wine

Yea Dave no excuse for my spelling error ! I knew it wasn’t correct but it sounded the same and it was also par for the course compared to some of the spelling and GRAMMAR!!! on this site so I just left it!! Are you going to apply for your “school” to be given Acadamy status or what? Cheers Dennis.

Dennis,the schools that I went to closed,the one here in the village a primary closed in 1973. Knighton school closed as a secondary modern in the 70’s also,due to the lack of scholars no longer in the area.
Cheers Dave.
