Longsight Primary - 1949 - 1955 (I think)
Farnworth Grammar - Well, I was accepted but didn't make it as I was transported before the school year started.

Two or three here, but they'd mean nothing to most of you.

My lovely High School.......

I thought you were from Massachusetts. That looks suspiciously like the Mills E. Godwin High School in Richmond, Virginia.

LOL as if you had ever heard of my alma matter!

I spent 24 years in Virginia. I have made no secret of it. I just happen to love my current state a heck of a lot more.

BTW I bought a Charra jersey at the Caps game I went to. I was only six rows away, and I was amazed with his skills.

Taken in about 2003 I would guess!

Oh, and me -

Deane Grammar School 1968/74 - ok I did a year at Hayward whilst Deane was being built.

(seems that standards their have fallen alarmingly since I left!)

Bruins are finally playing hockey - coming back from the dead. I've been to Richmond three or four times. Do you have a southern accent?

I saw the Bruins on the highlights package we get over here, the other night. An exciting game, but one that went the wrong way for your boys, Monty?

Exciting if you like goals, but not a purist's game - defensively our worst performance of the year and the Bruins were not much better. We came back from 4-1 and 5-4 down, only to lose at the very end. Still it kept us glued to the box until the end.

From all accounts we didnt deserve a win. (hence the lack of smack talk

)

I dont have much of a Southern accent at all. I do say ya'll though. I had an English accent growing up that I only regain watching football orhanging with family or being in Bolton. There is an opposite effect though, if I am around a lot of true Southerners I will slip into an accent. That and I still can't say cement and facade properly due to the ignorant way I learned to pronounce them.

Exactly. I like hush puppies, I am no fan of grits. (Oddly enough my Yankee wife is)
