You might be surprised to learn, dear Curmudgeon, that well over 50% come from very local postcodes. Yes, the catchment areas are wide but the majority live locally.

Walk Away, Renee - Four Tops

Windmills Of Your Mind - Noel Harrison

Just Walkin' In The Rain - Johnny Ray

Silver Lady - David Soul ------------ Sent from the Dolphin

185 to Vauxhall, train to putney

Wouldn't mind betting that the % going to private schools in this "leafy suburb" is just a little above that 7%

Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White - Eddie Calvert ---------------- Sent from the Fifties

You Give Love A Bad Name - Bon Jovi

e-dealer the song is called She's A Rainbow and it is by the Rolling Stones. How are people who are relatively young supposed to know that you are taling about the Stones. It would help all who post on this thread if you simply gave the correct name of the group/artist in future. Is that unreasonable? So, if your post was She's a rainbow - Rolling Stones, my response is Rainbow Valley - Love Affair ------------ Sent from the Mag

She wears red feathers - Guy Mitchell -------------- Sent from Cafe Nero

Standing On The Inside - Neil Sedaka ---------- Sent from outside

Soul Inside - Soft Cell

Not sure. I renewed mine last year - no charge. Must be due to the cuts (or maybe gang activity?). Without one, you might be OK but I frankly doubt it.

Sorry, tfwsoll, I messed up there (again!!) Try this one: Soul Man: Sam & Dave ----------- Sent from the EDT (great pub)

What utter nonsense, grabot! grabot said I never said that! The money goes to DC, Alleyns and JAGs on the basis of the number of pupils in each of the schools. DC gets most as it has most kids. The East End schools (sic) and St Olave's in Orpington get hugely less. In fact we can ignore what they get, it it so small. You don't deal at all with my point about "rich posh people" (your words), do you? Why did you say that? It is unfair and rude to hard working people who scrimp and save to pay for their child at Alleyns and you know it. So don't say it please.

They are called Central Foundation School - the boys is near Old Street (Islington borough) the girls is in Tower Hamlets. They used to be grammar schools until these were abolished by the ILEA in 1977. Grabot said A rather childish comment! What about the people who scrimp and save to pay the fees for their kids at Alleyn's? Ordinary non-posh people who happen to care about their kids' education! They might well get help from the school's bursary fund with those fees, too. Plus help in case thye want to go on a school trip or sports tour too. You come across as remarkably bitter and unreasonable.
