Schooldays: A Stanground Upbringing (North / South Divide)

Following on from Volume 5, which was all about my much missed “Bachelor Pad Years” and Volume 4, which was about my involvement with France and French people, here is Volume 6 – which, as you can see, is mainly about my schooldays.

I actually started on this project as a sort of a “self-healing exercise” after a bout of ill health during 2020 that made me realise that, if anything happened to me, there’s a whole raft of interesting anecdotes, memories and funny stories that might otherwise be lost to the world - and I thought I ought to write them all down for the benefit of future generations.

So, just to whet your appetite, in this volume you can read all about:

Growing up in Stanground, Peterborough in the 1970s and 80s...
Experiences at Southfields Pre-School, Infants School & Junior School...
The trials and Tribulations of Stanground Comprehensive School...
The bacchanalian haze that was Stanground 6th Form...
Experiences of - and with - the legendary Bernard Barker...
What I did in 1984...

and lots more besides!
