Mr Bolton sounds familiar. The RE teacher WAS only there for my first few years of high school so it could have been him.My dad retired around that time - maybe just before you were there. Tosher Bolton (nickname / surname).
*edit. I just called my sister who was in the year above me...it WAS Mr Bolton!! I can still vaguely picture him now.

That was my old school, I was in Oldham, what house were you in? Left in 1977. Was made House Captain!! God knows why, was always on a conduct sheet for my behaviourView attachment 19931
My high school.....Yew Tree High in Wythenshawe. It went on to become Arden college and then got demolished. Fcking terrible school...but good memories!
I used to live on the estate just behind the school so it was dead easy to wag it.

I KNOW you're not in Radcliffe....they don't have internet up there yet. I think you have to travel a few miles south into Manchester to just post messages on BM.

Openshaw Technical Collage, the biggest engineering collage in Manchester, i was there between 74 and 78, good times, unfortunately no longer exists, today there is a smaller version known as Mancat, there were some good lads back then, we all knew who supported who, good days.
