Not any more...

IMHO the school was a f'kin zoo, the pupils would have been better going straight to the workplace (or prison) Apart from the alarm which I think was GSCE.... CDT memories a) Teacher did'nt like the smell of old spice as it reminded thing of someone dieing from cancer - que 30 kids bathing in old spice aftershave. b) I nailed a load of text books to the work benches, open cover wack in a big clout nail though the book, close cover. I must have done 3 or 4 terms of that's all I can recall

Same here was always matey with the CDT teachers (and also thankfully not in a pre-edit Norm way) and allowed in 'as long as you leave it tidy' whenever he or the technician was in. The tech was one of those educated but dropout herbal cigarette smoking types who really didn't give a toss what I got up to with mains electricity!

For my O level I made a weightlifting type bench, spring loaded leg contraption, it was blooming ace and in those days I was allowed into the DT room alone during lunch and after school to weld etc.

ill have a look, i might have some old f130's etc. good to see a keen mind
