No. I don't think so. Did yours?

that's so true...when my Dad came home from work and saw me wearing them for the first time he thought I'd joined the sea cadets

Speak for yourself. I went from shocking pink, to electric blue, to emerald green, to blonde, to purple, to scarlet, and - eventually - when it started to fall out, back to black hair! Oh dear Lord...that and the "bondage" trousers...

Ditto - Brown and cream six button high waist with buttoned turn down pockets (in cream to contrast the brown trouser) and spanner pockets half-way down the thigh. Made of the kind of material that - if you dropped a fag on it - melted rather than scorched. Worn with platform shoes, butterfly-collar shirt and checked 'sports' jacket (both in variations of brown) and hands bedecked with two or three stainless steel rings that you lied to girls about and said you'd made them in metalwork class.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
