Re: Gobbin ????
Yes, Winky Barrel was a chemistry teacher and a very good one at that. A really nice bloke, as well. Gobbin was an elderly chap who was nearing retirement and really couldn't handle a class full of boisterous youths. I remember when I started at AGS in 1962, the Cuban missile crisis was in the news. Some of the more politically-minded pupils organised a "hands off Cuba" march to the Town Hall. There was a picture in the LET of Gobbin remonstrating with them outside the tax office (now Platts Club) at the bottom of Willows Lane. They swept him aside rather like King Canute and carried on regardless.
