Not in Crawley Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Never had a huge issue with teachers - probably because my mum was a teacher at the school I went to, and that I never got into too much bother. Most I got in trouble for was wearing my 18 eyelets, steel toe-caped docs. Although Mrs. Bentley the head of Maths was a bit of a batty old cow, and we did have Mr. Holt who got banged up for child porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Steejay Posted October 7, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2019 Mr Banks, French teacher at BCGS. He was an actor in his spare time but a full time cnut. I had a mate (Rob) who wore an hearing aid & Rob asked me to repeat something to him that Banks had just said. Banks asked him to come to the front of the class with his text book. He then took it off him & smashed him across the head with it - absolutely frightening at the time & a full on assault. Horrible bastard. 😨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Mr Swinhoe. Baldy headed Welsh French teacher at Hayward Grammar. He had it in for me. I was then a shy quiet type and I tried to understand French grammar but just didn't get it so he'd give me loads of shit. Fancied himself as a ladies man and was always sniffing round the lasses in 6th form. One day I got a piece of chalk, hollowed it out with a compass enough to put a match in it and then chalked over the end. Cleared all the other pieces of chalk from under the board so he had to use that one. We started the lesson and as it happened one of the girls from 6th form came in so he was being Price Charming. Picked up the chalk and went to write on the board whilst leering at her. The match struck, he gave a big yelp and dropped it, looking a right tit. It was a struggle to keep my face straight but I managed. The twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only had a small part (ooh er missus). He was in Corrie a few times, was the vicar who married Ken and Dierdre and married another couple (forget who) a few years later at a Wild West themed wedding. He wore a denim shirt, leather waistcoat and shoelace tie and instead of all that "dearly beloved" gubbins he just said "Howdy pardners". At assembly closest before Remembrance Sunday he used to read out the eulogy to the entire school and it would make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. When I was in the upper 6th I briefly went out with a girl who was into amateur dramatics at Bolton Little Theatre. She once told my about an end of run party where Geoffrey turned up dressed as a woman. Showbiz types, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have it in the back of my mind that Mr Holt was a pupil same time as me at BCGS. Was a big Wanderers fan, but a little bit of an odd character.

Ani Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 We had a teacher called George Lonsdale at Smithills. Just a massive bully. Physical hurt kids. Used to play rugby with us and once punched me in the face. Proper punch. I stamped all over him next opportunity along with 2 others. Very strange man.

leigh white Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 My years at St Mary's Leigh, 65-69 was like being in a boot camp, never learned out, but knew how to defend myself. A proper rough place with teachers controlling the pupils with a grip of iron. My son went the same place years later and it was totally different.
