now does anyone recognise thesetwo reprobates? the one on the left isjohnSerjeant who wasmy boyfrriend in the early sixties. I think I methim at knowlmere Street and we went outfor peobably acouple of yearstill I left the high school in 1964 to go to colege.

Ithink he may have been adopted though he never said so. he lived with hisnparents at the bottom of Avenue Parade and they also hadfarmery/ leather shop justroundthe corner on Abbey Streetoppositethe Post Office. His mother was a piano teacher and I didn't know till I read on this site that she had been kiiled on theroad outside her house in the70s. How awful.

I would probably havegot better A level results if i hadn't been going out wiyhsargebut I have to say thateven though e left school at16 and was workingg at Howard andBullough he opened my eyeseandbroadened my horizonsto a lot of culture such asclassical and folk musicand films. thatsounds patronising, it isn't meant to be. We usedto go to manchestera lot at weekeds to places like freetrade Hallfor concerts, manchester sports guild for folk music, films atthe Odeon on OxfordRoad, and shopping!

the other person in thepicture is stuarthartley who lived on tremellen Streetandhad a glass eye. He started a branch of CND andaccording to another thread on here organised aCuban missile crisis at the Grammarschool.

I think my mum told me a few years later hewas in the papers as he hadgoneto universty, spent hisgrant on booze and ended up in thegutter, literally. I think later e may havegoneto japan to teach English.
