Attended a few schools.


Dinwiddie Primary, Germiston, South Africa - superb head Mr de Wit who really loved his pupils, a real Afrikaaner but instigated teaching the local Bantu language until a death lost the capacity to continue.


Germiston High - an English speaking school with purple, black and white vertical striped blazers - really stood out against the more common green and browns. Really good school too.


The Tudor Grange in Solihull that still had aspects of the grammar schools it evolved from. The lower school was the former girls grammar and some staff remember to worry when it was built next to the boys school about possible mixing. Boring green blazer (see above) but a good school. I remember the proper school lunches, some good, some terrible but all filling and the puds, changed to canteen style and went to pot - too much junk and real food to much.


Solihull Sixth Form - great times there, again good schooling.


Some from Tudor Grange did try to arrange a get together a few years back but what started as a reunion sort of petered out to a meal then drinks - not really worth the travel then.
