old'un Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 You in an argument, I don't believe that. I have a couple of school day out photos from the 50s, I sometimes look at all the people in the photos and often wonder how many are still alive.

marsh man Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 Compared to us Simon , you looked like you had a very wealthy up bringing , if we had a coach trip we had to pretend we were ill as we didn't have any decent gear to wear , our clothes were passed on to my brothers and sisters and it wouldn't look right if I had borrowed my sister dress to go to Norwich for the day on the bus , or would it ? , the teachers must had twigged it because we were always as right as ninepence the following day after reporting bed ridden the day before .

I would imagine that you have changed a sight more than A W , it didn't look a lot different yesterday than he looked when your photo was taken . Was it a shooting day or a field trial , I would never miss either so It would had been a good possibility I would had been there rubbing shoulders with the P / W master chef .
