Feel free to add messages relating to the site and the school. The only rules are: real names only, no personal attacks and no unrelated messages (inappropriate messages may be edited/withdrawn without warning).
It would be appreciated if you gave an email address, where you now live and said when you were at the school, but you don't have to.
Plase note that if you click on an email address below you will need to replace ~DOT~ with . and ~AT~ with @ in your email program. The Guestbook presents these this way to avoid email address harvesters collecting your email addresses from the page. I know it's a pain, but it's very much better than the alternative.

Sorry about the "f. My hand slipped and I did not know how to cancel it.
Despite all that I still say "Take no notice" (of age).
We have a record-breaking heatwave in operation at the moment. Not nice and a bit scary.

I feel very much a junior at the age of 87!!

Why 95, Neale? Surely it must be the century as a target. I'm happy to say that in the UK the tradition of a greetings message from the monarch for those reaching that milestone still exists.

91 and still not very bright. I should have said, post 1935 kick off times.

Thanks Alex,
Yes 91 and the clogs still unkicked.
My goal now is 95 (Clint Eastwood). We both should feel blessed. I realise it when I read the obituary column in our local paper. Most entries these days are for post 1935 final whistle times. I feel like I've climbed above the tree line on a mountainside. Lots of blue sky and unlimited views. Still four years is plenty of time to come a cropper. So lets both of us enjoy the view while we can!
Cheers. Neale.

Hello all,I wondered why Neale got the 'F' out of there, It must be because of his age, he's 91 you know ...still not as old as me. Happy Birthday Neale for Thursday (I think)

It took me ages but I finally spotted where the missing "f" was.

Thanks Neil
The foghorn was actually changed to a higher note some time before the lighthouse was decommissioned. When I was a lad, its sound was a frequent companion through the night where I lived in Norfolk Road. Also, the light was reflected from the wall at the head of my bed, not that it kept me awake much.
