I was at Saltdean Primary till '69. Dave Edwards was my class teacher for 2 years (but he never molested me!). I remember Miss Middleton who became Mrs Martin and went off to be a missionary. Miss Reeve was the headmistress. She died 3 or 4 years ago.

You've got 2 years on me ....
Mr Edwards - shiverers swimming club - I went a couple of times but I've never been one much for water - maybe I dodged a bullet?
Don't recall the other names you mention but French teacher was Mrs Tranter - her daughter was Alison [in my year].
Some of the "bigger boys" who may have been in your year - Nigel Martin (RIP), Sean? Tobin, Steve Mead, Jez Martin, Paul Hewish (poor lad), William Wade [lived in same road], Adrian King (my scout patrol leader), Paul Tarry, Paul Smith - any of them ring a bell?

Did you go on to Longhill?

I must know you cos I was in Chichester 69 to 76 and there were only 5 or 6 in Marshall in my year as they were the boarders. Nigel Parslow was one. Eddie ? big bruising ginger haired guy. Colin Printer.

Yeah, I remember those guys-They were two years older than me though-decent couple of lads

well i would have missed you apart from one year maybe and then you would have been completely irrelevant (being 4 years behind me) as I would have been to [MENTION=27447]Goldstone1976[/MENTION] (although i might remember him, he wouldn't me I doubt) and as for [MENTION=3788]Barrel of Fun[/MENTION] - he must still be in shorts!:moo:

Altogether now...

I went to Brighton Secondary Technical School in Hanover Terrace. The house names were Nash (red), Adams (Blue), Lutyens (green) and Wren (white). All named after well known architects. I was in Nash house. Great days.

Hi Swindon Seagull, When were you at BSTS in Hanover Terrace? I was in Wren (Yellow not white - Never did like yellow) from 71 to 76. We never won a thing. Seem to remember Nash (Red) winning everything. As you say happy days indeed.

Red - Red
Blue - Blue
Green - Green
Yellow - Yellow

Simple but effective
(Although not sure of the last two, could be the other way round. It was a long time ago)

Essex, Warwick, Lancs, York - I never really understood why those counties vs. any of the others?

I was Essex House - Blue as I recall. I think Warwick were green, Lancs were red and York was yellow.

I got bored after reading 13 pages, but didn't see a single vote for mine:
Firle
Caburn
Ditchling and
Chanctonbury

Think you'll find it was Wolstonbury, not Chanctonbury.
Thats if you were at Westlain,I mentioned it earlier.
